[QUOTE="WormWiggler, post: 35085, member: 245"] The topic of over the limit by non residents has come up yearly if not monthly. Everyone polishes their halo and describes how they keep track of the limit in their boat. Inevitably someone says "mistakes happen, shouldn't get banned for life for one fish". I had some thoughts. Residents... non resident same rules as far as over limit. maybe different limits (should there be a reward for living here?) Have the first fish over limit be less of a fine, say $50 buck, second $200, third $500 etc. (I don't know the fine structure currently but you should get the point). Group fishing.. have all fishermen identify their fish. if one fish is not claimed, all fishermen get a fine. You get checked with your two buddies. 16 fish in cooler, you pull your five, buddy #1 pulls his five, buddy #2 can own up or cost his buddies each a fine. Repeat offenders... escalate the fines with license suspensions. First time, 1 year, 2nd ten years, 3rd life... sort of gives people a chance to grow up. [/QUOTE]
