12.6 Tons - Average Fish at 5 years Old 5 Lbs

That means the nets that have been found, including yet another today, have contained somewhere around 5000 fish...

That is just amazing...That is 5000 less fish for each and everyone of us this year and the loss of those fish will cut down on the population in future years....These 5000 could actually cost us tens of thousands of fish over the next 10 to 20 years....

I had the luck to spend a good amount of my time on the shore during my childhood, and I know the community is tight knit, close, and protective...I respect that, however, it is a crime against all of us recs, charters, and comercial fisherman that this has happened...I hope that someone finally speaks up and lets DNR or other officials know what type of effect this behavior is going to have on all of us for years to come....

Making a living is one thing, stealing from your brother is a whole different story....
