this thread should be stickied, it has great tips for releasing BSB, something everyone should be aware of.
i have yet to catch one myself, but i one fished on a guy's boat, when he caught one, he had no idea what it was and was about to gaff it. there's many people out there who don't know what they are or how to handle catching one. i vote sticky!

I not only would have booked the shirtless trailer trash, but would have cited the crack head boat operator for assisting in the catch as well as endangering his kids by damn near beaching his boat! What a goat*&^!

there wasnt anythign they could have goten him on. becuase the video wouldnt hold up in court. He did release the fish aparently, they would have had to have full proof that the fish died. some peopel said it did, but cant confirm it legally.
the newport beach police were involved as well as the DFG. if they wanted to get him im sure they could have. Lots of complaints. When they interviewed the angler he apeard to play dumb. I will say that, im sure he knew what he was doing, He was informed it was a protected fish and continued to "go on with his buisness" The boat owner should have gotten the shaft to, but they didnt have anythign to convict him on either. Sad. I wa shoping they would cite those guys to set an example to everyone that what they did was wrong and that even if DFG arent watching law abiding angler are. That pier is crowded regularly, they should have had DFg monitoring it more frequently. It could have stopped that. |

Yeah, i agree, it is worth all the money theyd spend against a lawsuit.
This was one fo those guys you have to make an example of, becuase it caught so much attention. but they didnt, so not it sends the wrong message. ![]() |

They made an example out of the guys who killed the seal....Last I heard DFG served a warrant (hi-risk style) and kicked his door in.

According to a recent letter from the F & G commission, (See Holy Mackerel's post today), the F & G currently has about 200 wardens in the field throughout California... the entire state of California. This is not enough staff to completely cover San Diego County, let alone the whole state. Given this fact, we should not expect that someone from this agency will typically be handy to enforce the regulations when something like this happens.
The problem here is ignorance. I am certain that someone on that pier must have know that BSB are protected. They should have jumped in and explained things to those who did not know better. Why that did not happen mystifies me. Bob |
