Miss. men convicted of game fish sales
Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
Talked to a man from Illinois at lake Washington a few years ago. He had a huge freezer next to his camper. Said he spent Feb thru May at the lake. Sold his fish back home for 7.50 per lb
I wonder if it would have been a harsher sentence on a non resident. Those guys basically got off with a slap on the wrist.. that burns me up!! I've heard of people getting worse than that for just keeping a few short fish to take home to eat.
slap on the wrist
I don't really consider $1000 fine and no fishing or hunting for a year and no COE fishing for two years to be a slap on the wrist especially since they weren't listed as repeat offenders. Maybe I read it wrong though...
If you had 7 short fish in your livewell your fines would be worse. In order to stop people they have to pay if caught.Quote:

The selling of game fish is far worse in my book. That brings in poachers into a whole different game.. if they are selling game fish they don't give a darn about keeping shorts. $975 is a kiss with a pillow... I would have them serving a year with $10, 000 in fines, don't care if you 80, should no better, how long this been going on? Problem with the system, to much catch and release with the wrong sort... just my two cents anyhow.
Yep, game violations don't carry enough weight period. I remember when it became law that you could use a scope on a muzzleloader. I can't shoot iron sights worth a crap and had always wanted a scope on the smoke pole. GW told me that the fine would have only been 25 bucks had I got caught, I would have paid it in a heart beat. Multible violations in a certain period should stop you from getting a license in another state as well, know of someone recently fishing in another state and has had mutable violations in MS in the last couple of years, why they still have a license is beyond me.Quote:

Yep, prisons aren't much of a punishment anymore for these new age thugs. They lay around all day in the heat or AC and watch TV and do drugs. It's like a social gathering for them. Put there butts to work. And Cl most these criminals cost tax payers one way or another with welfare assistance on the outside or housing cost on the inside. I rather not have them on the streets. Cost effectiveness and convicting criminals shouldn't be in the same sentence imo..
There was a period of time where there was no limit number . The law was written to be adopted or amended on a certain year but state failed to do it . somewhere around 2000-20005.Quote:

I hope they get their justice but I bet they will get a pretty lenient sentence.
Yes, Parchman did not cost the state one cent until the judges got involved and said you could make them work.
Made car tags, farmed and provided for themselves, nursing homes and whitfield.
I rented a farm with a ditch between Parchman and mine. I always said that was as close as I wanted to be to Parchman.
Come on guys why does it always have to be "I met a guy from Illinois". :Rofl As far as prison after working in one for 20 plus years believe me when I say it's no picnic. If you don't believe me they are usually hiring all the time.
Always the yankees fault, don't you know.:RoflQuote:

Your right Ree's. Yep! It took all the fun out of primitive hunting season. I remember when other than with a bow and maybe a 2 or 3 day regular gun doe season. The old black powder guns with no telescopic sites were the only way you could kill doe's legally in Mississippi. I use to save my vacation days up to where I would be off during these days. I missed a lot but it was a lot of fun hunting with those old guns like our forefathers used back in the old days. Nowadays people don't even know what it is like to wait all morning to get a shot at a deer and have the gun to snap or miss fire. O well those were the good old days to me anyway.
Come on guys......this thread is about crappie violation...selling crappie. Not muzzle load primitive weapon deer hunting. If you want to talk about that be courteous and start your own thread.

Wouldn't no anything about selling them, gave away a lot so far this year (legal and filleted already), but would have paid for a bite this morning... Lol.. too bad crappie ain't interested in money :-)
Ok....this has run its course
