It is every fisherperson's responsibility to know the laws for the waters in which they fish.

I say, if you are caught poaching you should lose everything, gear, vehicle, and license. Then get slapped with a healthy fine. So what if the fine is $500 and the poacher has to dip into his kids college fund. The poacher should have thought of that before they went fishing.

You wanna see poaching at it's finest go down to the Green River @ Soos Creek in October. You will be appauled.
