When they say "All fishing gear seized as evidence was also forfeited" would that include the boat??Four recreational anglers fined a total of $17,000 for rockfish violations and giving false information to a fishery officer - Canada.ca

I just returned from the West Coast and was stunned how many of the other guests package their catch. The regulations are very clear, weather you agree or not. Bottom fish were all filleted and cut into pieces for vaccum sealing. No way to tell how many fish or the size. A couple of guys were sealing up fish until midnight, unfortunately they were right outside my bedroom window. They were all prepared with headlamps and a real ****** food saver machine. No fisheries officers anywhere. At least the group in this article got caught

It’s been going on in Nootka since the dawn of time. i remember being 13 y/o staying at Cougar Creek when the campsite first opened and the men would fish all day and the women folk would stay at camp canning the salmon all day. apartment freezers hooked to generators. Wild Rose license plates as far as the eye could see.
by the time fisheries arrived they were gone, baby gone …

You know whats funny and most people dont know, but never did you need a special licence for tuna on a commercial boat. Any commercial boat can catch tuna. Last year they issued a registration fee of 50 bucks so DFO could track how many boats were tuna fishing ( assuming the reason ). This guy probly either didnt know or forgot to fill out the piece of paper. Just another DFO gong show. Poor guys went broke this year id assume. they should have just made him fill out the paper and pay the 50 bucks and be done with it.

not defending, but also lost the 120k catch and all the prep costs of the trip.
