    Hey atleast the fines are getting a bit bigger, I have a book you should read brian, trust me any justice is a step forward, talk to a CO, I think you’d be suprised how many people have and do walk. IT’s a step forward I applaud the efforts of the Co and the legal system for bringing some justice. That being said, it’s still a minor slap on the wrists

    I have been to a lot of fish fry’s but never paid 34$ for perch. Hope they get what they deserve, people like this need to be punished, and I amn’t talking about a hand slap!!! How about loss of license for a few years or something of that nature.

    If Minnesota stops sending its murderous deer hunters over here we will stop sending our aholes over there.

    you two crack me up…

    I think we need to send everyone in MN and WI a letter…”Follow the laws”… oh wait…isn’t that common sense? Maybe we can get a rebate from the states on common sense…oh wait…we have a deficite on that!!!
