Sounds like an honest mistake to me. None of them were local, and possibly their first time there. Doesnt make it right, but dont think we should chop any hands off for it.
The story doesnt say how long they were there? They were staying in a cottage. Doesnt sound like a day trip to me.. The fish (all 49) were frozen solid, to the point where they needed to be thawed to be counted. 4 dudes at 4 fish per day could put 48 fish in that cooler in a 3 day weekend trip.. Is it possible they miscounted by 1.. Sure is...
Know the rules and regulations. No excuses!
boy you google it and there is a big problem up there with poaching.they should crack down hard on it with both the americans that go up there and do it and all the Canadians doing it.
Read the last paragraph closer. They mislabelled fish packages, over limit 33 fish..... We hear of this sort of thing up here all the time. Scum trying to get away with something, their fine is a slap on the wrist.Not saying it was right. Canada's reg. are clearly written in the reg. book you get when buying a license.One day limit in possession and to leave skin on for id purposes.No were do I see in the last paragraph does it say they miss labeled packages.Just says labeled Bass and Walleye.It's very possible they had Bass in there possession also.
