    Here is a list of License revocations from the MN DNR. Feel free to look at the last names and tell us who is the biggest violators.

    I am glad they caught him and hope he is fined appropriately and this gets a lot of air time so that it will deter others from doing the same.

    Some guys are on all 4 because they must have really screwed up, but overall the majority of the violators were everything but Asian. This list may not be complete but I think I found most of the obvious ones.

    I always thought the Asian community was particularly good at math – must just be a stereotype…..

    They seem to be pretty good at catching – not so good at baseball, though…..

    You guys just don’t like Asians. I know it….

    There was a post on here a while back about the dnr doing some sort of crack down on LOW. If I remember right they caught all kinds of people over the limit. My guess is most were white guys. Having said that there is a culture among some asains to never let a fish go, regardless of size, season, or amount in posession. i hope that doesn’t come off as racist profiling, its just the truth

    Sounds like enough fish to fed the veterans at the VA hospital. Make the scum bag clean and cook the fish to feed the people that may have saved his butt.

    Was up on Big Sandy one time when the DNR busted a couple white guys from Illinois that were way over their limit. Someone called TIP to bust them.

    Watched DNR go talk to a guy on East Rush Lake last weekend that was fishing with two lines. looked like they just gave him a stern warning. I will be calling TIP next time I see him with two lines in the water, he has done this before last weekend.

    Not sure about anyone else but, I certainly don’t understand why people can’t live within the rules. Is it really that hard?

    Looking at the list for fishing, it is hard to throw stones in a glass aquarium.

    Tanner Zych??? I swear I am not related. Must be a Zych from the bad side of Poland.

    A little history lesson on a macro scale for those who don’t know. The Americans and French governments, as well as others, promised to relocate the Hmong refugees from Laos and Vietnam in exchange for them helping us fight the viet cong.

    I apologize for those I have offended by bringing this up. I agree that many people break the laws, I was just stating that several of the gross over limit cases that I can remember involved SE Asians. I do remember the priest from Wisconsin and the others from IA. They were wrong too.
    It just bothers me that years ago our hunting and fishing regs used to have a stipulation that said “English language required”. Then our DNR dropped that and hired 2 Cambodian or Laotian officers to help the wardens that couldn’t communicate with certain individuals. My ancestors had to adopt the English language when they arrived.
    I am a veteran and my father served two tours in Vietnam in his 20 years. Does that mean we get special privilages???
    I also have been bow hunting in the fall and had several Asians (I could hear them talking) walk through the woods a hundred yards away while shooting at every bird that was flying- Blue Jays and all- with .22’s. Needless to say, the bullets were flying over my head more than once. Safety wasn’t a concern, nor were the illegal song birds they were targeting.
    Sorry, but I had to vent a little more…

    I’ll be honest with you guys, I really think fines for our game & fish violations are excessive compared to fines for motor vehicle violations.

    And here’s my rationale… you run a stop light, you can potentially kill or severely injure a human life obeying the law (entering intersection on green). You keep a bunch of fish over your limit?

    If I’m not mistaken, an extra line citation is about the same as running a stoplight or stop sign? Are those really equal crimes?

    This guy with 400 fish is facing steeper penalties than a DWI conviction.

    Now I totally agree with ya’ll about throwing the book at the guy. I just wanna livin’ the conversation up by comparing fish & game crimes vs other crimes in society. What you think?

    So he will be fishing without a license until he gets caught next time. $1000 per fish over your limit might help some people understand

    A poacher is a poacher… They all have the same mentality. Yellow, white, black or red it doesn’t matter. You should Check the list of violators on the DNR site again… Plenty of non-SE Asian names on there. Stop the profiling and you won’t be so butt hurt every time you hear an Asian name come up some where…

    Whenever I see some ridiculous number like this, I really wonder if they plan to utilize the fish at some point, or if it is just a mental sickness that drives them to keep everything they catch.

    When you have 300 fish in your chest freezer, and you are still fishing for more keepers, you got problems that taking your license away for a couple years won’t cure..


    Thing is, they keep everything they pull out of the water and they eat everything they take home. It’s East vs. West and they don’t have a clue about western civilization’s game and fish laws, nor do they give a rat’s [censored]. It’s almost like subsistance hunting & gathering for them yet. Don’t preach to me about political correctness, it’s the way it is. I’m not defending their actions by any means. No amount of assimilation or education is going to change that. The fact remains, what’s wrong is wrong and the stiffer the penalty, the better………….

    I just went back and read the story again, the guy is 39, which means he was probably born in the U.S.
    If he wasn’t then he came here at a very young age.
    Which ever it is,he knew it was wrong!

    My father came to this country from a country with no set limits on hunting or fishing. Growing up, I remember while hunting and fishing we kept within our limits. Releasing smaller fish. Keeping bigger fish, even some trophy sized eyes.

    One thing that I’ve learned from forums like IDO is that releasing a Trophy eye CAN impact the fishery. Letting a deer walk instead of taking it will improve your chances of getting a trophy in future years. My dad couldn’t teach me the ethics to fishing/hunting because he didn’t have any. So, I had to teach myself through watching videos and reading forums/articles. It makes me happy to hear my dad tell me about the deers that he passed on that he wouldn’t of passed on 10 years ago. I have always passed on deers as a kid, maybe from watching all those team Realtree videos?? lol… So, I have helped my dad to create some sort of ethics while hunting. This is why I’m pursuing a career in being a C.O. To try and help the community. I was born and raised in MN. Sites like these and the videos on here could help change the ethics that people have. Up to a couple years ago before i stumbled onto this site, if i caught a legal eye it would be in the bucket. Now its different, i have satisfactory in releasing the fish that i catch.

    Same story here except my dad was born in the US. Grew up during the depression out on the farm.

    The bigger the better, the more the merrier. All his brothers were the same way although most of them changed somewhat as they became older.

    We practiced C&C here before Ido. Catch and Cook…or Catch and Give Away.

    It WAS Ido and it’s members that taught me what catch and release does and this info was transferred to Dad.

    German here.

    I’m guessing most of us don’t have to look too far back into our past to see changes taking place in our ethics.

    There is actually 15 names listed..(some more than once) so about 3.4% of the entire list… Can you imagine if 3.4% of every race was on that list ? At what point does knowing an issue exists with a certain people/race, not become profiling ? I could have guessed what the last name would look like before opening that story yesterday… does that make me a profiler or a psychic ? Seems when I read about GROSS overages… it’s more so a certain race, over others. There are real stroies about how people are decimating entire woods of tree rats. I call it glutenous

    According to the 2010 census, they make up about 3.4% of the population of Minnesota, so those numbers are about right. Now one could break down that group a little more to let the numbers support the stereotype, but the list proves that the issue is not one segment of societies problem.

    My grandma grew up poor in the south. She never understood us releasing “keeper” sized fish. About 15 year ago, I was out with her and caught a nice 24″ walleye. We looked at it, I said that I want to let it go, we set it in the water and saw the big tail swish and the fish disappeared. I remember saying, “see grandma, wasnt that beautiful?” I dont think I changed her mind, but I know that she understood and didnt question our decisions about releasing big fish anymore.

    Strangely, on a lake with bigger fish where you only get 1-2 a night if you are lucky, we found a school of 13″ fish and took 5 home for dinner that night.

    Well that’s hardly a surprise. Everyone knows what those people are like.

    In thinking about it, should those people even be allowed to fish at all in this state? I mean, especially the Norwegians? We’re talking about a race of people who boil fish (a suspect practice on its own) in a caustic solution containing hazardous materials and then eat it! And they LIKE it!

    Brothers of the angle, THAT is some sick, twisted behavior.

    Muskie lutefisk? I’m surprised. I’d heard that you people preferred to make your toxic lye-infused fish soup using a blend of ground up trophy-sized walleye, endangered sturgeon, and imported bighead carp.

    I hadn’t heard that you people use muskie as well. It’s probably just that you only kill the ones greater then 50 inches, right?

    Deport the Norwegians! Save our fishing! Deport the Fishmongers!

    Forgive me for not reading thru the whole thread but I just want to add something.

    I think the consistent reminders to call TIP and be responsible anglers ourselves has made an impact.

    I, myself have broken a few of the rules in the past but refuse to do so now because I realize it is the same as stealing from others or others stealing from me. IDO has done a great job of hammering home the importance of being a good role model and if we disagree with some laws, use the proper methods to seek change.
