Poaching BUSTS!

[hookedonbass]

Those damned russians at it again. When you look at all the international violations you tend to see the russians or chinese behind a lot of them.

I agree and in our country it is the russians and the chinese too. Go to chinatown in philly and you will see illegal blackfish all over the place. Also the guys on the intlet jetties who say no spek inglish! when they get busted. About time some of these damn people learn to read and talk in our language.


Another bust a spanish guy with 228 of them. I am sick and tired of them violating our laws they should take his boat too. Go back to your own country and poach the fish there!

Silver Spring Man Found Guilty of Poaching 228 Undersized Striped Bass

A Silver Spring man was found guilty last Friday in Annapolis District Court of possessing 228 undersized striped bass.
Hervin O. Nunez-Aleman, 34, pleaded guilty to a single violation. He was fined $2,000 and placed on unsupervised probation.
An officer with the Maryland Natural Resources Police was on patrol at Sandy Point State Park on August 31 at 1:30 a.m., when he stopped a boat returning to the marina.
After receiving permission from Nunez-Aleman, the boat owner, to check the coolers aboard the 14-foot recreational vessel, the officer found 228 striped bass under the legal minimum of 18 inches. The officer also found about 30 pounds of white perch in the coolers. None of the four people on the boat had a fishing license.
The trial of a fishing companion, Amaya Chicas, is set for April 18 in Annapolis District Court. The district courts in Anne Arundel County participate in a program that highlights natural resources cases on specific day each month. Under the program, cases including fishing, hunting, boating and tree expert violations are heard on a specific day each month in the region where they occurred.
Citizens who see conservation violations, maritime emergencies or other law enforcement issues on the Chesapeake Bay or the State's public lands are urged to call 800-628-9944.

Most of the time they already wiped out the fish from their country. That's why they come here. Don't you know the streets of America are paved with fish? 228 is a lot. Hope they give him some stronger fines and don't let him plea out. A**wipe.

Take his boat? they should sink it. End of story.

Agree, penalty needs to exceed the crime, not be weaker than it.
