Another Poacher

Every day we should be allowed to pelt him with rotting spawned out fish. Maybe the "Shick Shadel" aversion therapy treatment might work.

I'm actually amazed to read this. I've always seen these cases settled for pennies, dropped, or just flat not prosecuted. Go Pacific county. Seems like there are some folks in positions of influence there that understand the nature of game crime and it's importance to maintaining ethical sporting activities. I make no bones about the fact I hate snagging with a passion. I would have sympathy for a fifteen year old kid with bad examples but a 66 year old. No sympathy. Fifty days has to send a message.

WDFW refers to the perpetrator as a "recreational fisherman"? C'mon!
This drives me crazy. The perpetrator was neither an “angler” or a “recreational fisherman”
I rewrote it for them-

Pacific County snagger sentenced to 50 days in jail for salmon snagging violations.​

OLYMPIA - A Pacific County judge has sentenced a POACHER to 50 days in jail…

There’s the truth!
 
 
Remember this guy?

 
Based on my experience in the state of Washington almost all fall salmon fishing in rivers is snagging. That is not to say there are not legit salmon fishing opportunities and Anglers but the number of corky snaggers greatly outweighs them.
And they always out-catch me.
