I was going to ask this very same question earlier this aft. I would find it hard to believe that the lodge was unaware that four of their guests had 40 walleye in their freezer. Unless if the freezer was in the customer's cabin or room. Regardless the lodge should make it clear to their clients about catch limits and possession limits. Either way the anglers should have known the rules regardless.

Gear
I hope gear means their boat also so they are unable to fish anymore unless they swim. Also I hope their fishing privileges are taken for life. They do not deserve any. Yes, we should be thankful the Canadians allow us the privilege to fish there. Matt

Gull Rock
Same type of thing happened at Gull Rock in 2012. The person was so effing arrogant!!! Really pissed me off. Had large northern cut up in pieces frozen and an unknown large number of walleye over the limit. I really felt bad for the MNR officer having to take all that crap off this guy and then he got off easy in court. The camp operator may have tipped off the MNR and if this guy has the balls to come back? Well.......he better be ready. Too many people saw and were not happy.
Another case of ENTITLEMENT.....ah.........need I say more? |

These people are thieves! They should be fined $500 for each fish and then thrown in jail for 5 to 10 years. They are stealing from the public. Why do the courts allow them to pay a small fine and then let them go? Do they really believe that these individuals care about a fine or taking of their fishing or hunting license? These types of individuals, I am not talking about an individual or group 1 fish over, do not care about the laws and should be punished severely!

If the punishment does not include being banned from entry in to Canada it isn't enough in my opinion! Later, Jay

A $2,500 fine and loosing all your fishing gear (could be worth thousands) is a fair and just punishment for first time offenders (maybe they did it before, but maybe they didn't). I'm sure their ride back to Indiana was not fun. Jail for 5-10 years?!?!?!? Really? You want to ruin lives and families because of a freezer full of fish. Lets keep things in perspective. |

$10,000.00 - Could'a bought a lot of fillets at Border Bob's

I actually think the fine was right on. They're paying $250 per fish over, AND lost all their fishing gear.
Walleye run $10-$15 per pound at border bobs (3 fish). So, if they'd all just bought those fish... it would have been less than $200 worth of fillets. Instead they paid 10k and lost all their gear. As far as resort culpability... like mentioned in the Gull Rock situation, it wouldn't surprise me if there was a "tip". |
