I will CnR all day through a good bite after limits. Ever hit a loaded paddie that won't turn off? I'll fish it until my elbows are swollen.


The day someone catches him breaking the law, I vote for full on street justice, but until then, you're bordering on the line of defamation if you label this guy a poacher with no real evidence. (Not directed at you Greg)

Comparing a paddie to fishing for WSB is a stretch. Pretty much anything you catch on a paddie is going to have a far better chance at survival on release. Not to mention that you are talking boat limits on a paddie. And no, I am not the guy that catches a limit and still keeps going. I am the guy that sits down and lets others share in the bounty. Other than when the WSB limits are 1 fish, I can't remember the last time I took a limit of anything but Trout.

The law does not say that you cannot catch 5 fish, it says you cannot posses more than 3 fish. There is a witness that puts him in the boat alone. He is breaking the law, so there is no defamation nor libel.

Have you read Bloodydecks, or youtube?
Another witness put his son on the boat. Who is right? It's not for us to decide, nor jump to a conclusion, additionally, the initial accusations came prior to a witness testimony.

I agree without you 100% on the difference between survival rates of WSB and paddie fishing. However, the regs don't account for a "survival rate" of fishing.

There are two sides to this scenario. What is morally right and wrong, and whats it legally right and wrong. You can say all you want this guy is a scum bag for keeping so many fish, but to say he's a poacher is another story. One is an opinion, one is an accusation. I'm not trying to be an ass, I'm actually trying to look out for the hotheaded, pitchfork wielding forum-goers who might put their foot in their mouth. This guy could be screen shotting everything we type and it's not exactly like our identities are a secret.


I don't agree with what this guy did, but that doesn't make it right for us to put him on trial. Like I said, the internet is disgustingly powerful. This thread spread like wildfire over 4 known other local forums. If this guy turns out to be innocent, which he very well may be, then think of the damage it could do. Maybe 5% who saw the initial video will know the truth, society wants to see a beheading in Time Square more than an acquittal of charges.
