punishable by up to five-years in prison and/or up to a $5,000 fine

If the judge exercises the AND part of the and/or we might just see this stuff slow down. Sadly, though, these guys will likely get a few thousand dollar fine which will be paid out of the ill gotten gains from their 10 previous trips with nets full of illegal fish when they weren't caught.

The enforcement would also be stronger if they went after the fish houses that are purchasing these illegally caught fish.

[Manning]

I agree with both of you. What they are doing kind of makes you sick.

[Rik]

Would have been nice if they'd been able to track them to the fish house and bust both sides.

Upside is that it seems the pompano are here now.

(Upside is that it seems the pompano are here now.) LOL! The real question is did they find that guy in the middle mugshots teeth? Bunch of chuckleheads.
