Cheaters Boat seized.


Recommended Posts

Getting a conviction on the felonies would be awesome considering how much prize $$$ was involved and they've got a history of cheating, but even if they plea these down to misdemeanors I really hope they can make the misdemeanor unlawful ownership of wildlife for the fillets stick. 

Yeah on the surface it's only a misdemeanor, but the impact to them is huge because it can result in an indefinite suspension of fishing privileges which would keep these guys out of future tournaments and fishing in general.

Not defending them at all but have a lot of questions.

1. I get the fraud, the contest rules, etc - yes prosecute, understand that part, although past fraudulent contest winnings might be difficult to prove.

2. What fish and game laws would they have broken? I just don't know what would pertain to a fishing contest and legally fishing but breaking the contest rules.. ?
