big guy Posted May 13 Report Share Posted May 13 If 1 person, fishing with 1 or more other people in a boat, catches and keeps an oversize fish, does every person in the boat get fined? Thanks for the replies Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CrowMan Posted May 14 Report Share Posted May 14 As far as I know, only one person can have possession of the fish. Someone will need to claim it, and they'll get the summons/fine. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KraTToR Posted May 14 Report Share Posted May 14 Why keep it in the first place? If its for table fair, the smaller sizes are wayyy better eating. Eliminates the issue entirely. My opinion is that they should all fined as no doubt they were all part of it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
big guy Posted May 17 Author Report Share Posted May 17 (edited) It was a buddy of mine fishing in another boat with 2 other guys, also friends of mine. The other guys said he should keep due to where we were fishing, that he'd never get caught etc. It was 3 cm over the slot. Not a huge fish by any means. I wanted to find out if they all could be charged, to try and get the other 2 guys to straighten up and fly right. But i guess the answer is they wouldnt, so...

Dara Posted May 20 Report Share Posted May 20 They should all get a year in jail just for considering it. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chessy Posted May 20 Report Share Posted May 20 I think they could get transporting of a illegal fish .. the boat owner at least.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AKRISONER Posted May 21 Report Share Posted May 21 Judging by how the law is typically applied, if you knowingly let someone break the law, you will be found guilty of something. no different to me then if you help your buddy dress and store a deer that he’s illegally shot. You’re on the hook too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kathleen16 Posted Monday at 08:21 AM Report Share Posted Monday at 08:21 AM Why retain it at all? If it's for the dinner table, smaller sizes are much tastier. This completely solves the problem. In my view, they should all be fined, as undoubtedly they were all involved. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
