I gotta agree with some others here, he should have lost his fishing privileges for at least 2 years and more appropriately, 5 years or more. Maybe they should have a poachers dunk tank at the state fair to raise money for walleye stocking.

Interesting question Sledneck. If I remember the article correctly it mentioned that this guy was taking multiple limits daily which would throw him out of the question above.

But to answer you question if he was not taking multiple limits.

In the eye's of the DNR YES.

Hrm, didn't know your freezer stock was part of your daily limit. (Or possession limit if I misunderstood) Good thing i only keep a few sunnies for a rainy day!

Take away their license for a year and fine the [PoorWordUsage] out of him. Also i think that my work squad punishment i got years ago on a dui would be appropriate as well. I was made to go into three different ice arenas and scrub the puck marks off of all the plexi-glass. suffice to say i am pretty careful when i drink now (knock on wood )

Yeah that just changed 2 years ago,I think it was? I believe it used to be 18=per person household prior to that? Now Household Possesion=daily limit-(6) per person. Correct me if I'm wrong but I'm pretty certain that's the case.

My wife is in school for wildlife management and she has told me that that is the law as well.

People will never learn if all they get is a slap on the wrist. It makes me so mad!
