Buddy of mine told me the Russians grind up any fish and eat it raw on crackers!! Don't sound good to me!!
Its like that everywhere, sadly. Back home on than pier of GA you would see lowlifes keeping undersized sea trout and flounder, but when the wardens come by, they dump their coolers before being inspected, youd see dozens of undersized fish floating belly up for the gulls. Worst part is they and their drunk friends would laugh about it. Only way to stop it is to catch them on video and report. The enforcement for this is so sparse and undermanned. Now imagine how many people during the other 3 seasons get away with keeping all the salmon and lake trout They want in the lake.It is just a matter of teaching todays youth to obey regs and value fishing to make this change over the course of our lifetimes.
cutting air valves will do the same thing a lot easier - tires are hard to cut, even sidewalls.
Great job guys, hope the guy learned his lesson. I got some Cheese for u , for next time u can use as bait. I'm of Russian decent , n can tell u not all Russian keep everything they catch, poaching. Maybe guy had a big hungry family at home , n he's the food provider, would u rather him go rob a store or keep a few extra small fish that are probably stunted anyways n won't grow bigger. Maybe u should explained to him wat he was doing was wrong , n maybe he would have stop keeping them. But everyone does things differently. Tight line to all.

I have been trying to refrain from commenting on these types of threads, as I get a little vocal with this stuff. Can't help it right now, this is my POV like it or not....#1 - Big Hungry Family? - The dude is from Mass. If he can afford to buy gas to get up there, and (assuming he is using) bait which in Vt we all know is $$. That's dinner for his family right there. If his family is that hungry its because they don't have the means to afford to buy food... I WOULD BE FISHING CLOSER TO HOME.#2 - A few extra fish? stunted anyways and wont grow? This seemed to be more than "a Few" and how can we assume they wont grow after being caught/Stunted? what a mouth fart.#3 - Explain what he is doing wrong? Just like everyone else, ignorance is no excuse. Try telling this to a game warden, see what he says. I have to read and understand the laws and regs, limits and whatnot before I go out, it is my responsibility. Why should this guy get a buy. No one else does! ITS HIS RESPONSIBILITY TO UNDERSTAND THE LAWS, NO ON SHOULD HAVE TO WRITE IT OUT IN THE SNOW FOR HIM.**censored**. Sorry everyone. This just sounds ridiculous to me. Hungry family... Get a job.
I don't care if he is Russian, asain, Canadian or if he is an ole woodchuck that has never left hardwick. I didn't get the sense that this was about him being Russian. It was about the fact that he shouldn't be treated differently than you or I in terms of cutting the guy some slack because he doesn't know (or more likely, doesn't care about) the regs limits and rules, etc. If I came to Vt, and shot a spike horn, checked it in and did so without ever making sure I understood what the regs were, I would fully expect to be fined. Would you cut me slack if you saw me dragging out a spike horn and my excuse was "Oh, I didn't know the rules"
Now we're sh@tting on Hardwick?I thought you NH people picked on Canaan or Unity?
