[font color=green size=3][b]Yup, there are bad guys on both sides of the border, if enough of them get caught the MNR can afford some new recruits. :)

You don't read that rag do you? lol!!!

This was all over the papers in NW Ontario. Some guys just don't get it. The odds of being caught are probaly not that great but if you are you will get the book thrown at you. The fines are going up and they will always publish your name. That alone should probably get you to rethink.

HEY NOW, they have nothing but the best news available ! They also have the Sun Girl & Miss LonelyHearts........ I did see that she printed your letter........

I'm just laughing at a the thought of a high speed chase on a remote northern lake... I vision a bugs bunny cartoon.

DOES ANYONE KNOW WHAT LAKE THEY ARE TALKING ABOUT

In my opinion, it was not nearly a big enough penalty unless it was $1000 per fish over the limit. I also don't see where there was jail time and/or revocation of hunting and fishing priveleges for the rest of their lives (U.S.and Canada).

That should teach them. Next time get a faster boat! It must've had the number 24 on the side.

That was my thought also. A high speed chase in a 16ft lund w/25 merc
or was that maybe a 25 Acme ? Explain why they were caught..... LOL

Good FIshen
