Another Poacher

Habitual Snagger caught again. Seems the sentencing doesn’t work for this asshat…

Pacific County angler sentenced to 50 days in jail for salmon snagging violations

OLYMPIA - A Pacific County judge has sentenced a recreational fisherman to 50 days in jail, fined him $1,500, and imposed a five-year fishing license suspension for repeat salmon snagging violations, the Washington Department of Fish and Wildlife (WDFW) announced today.

It sounds like there's a need to increase the penalties. He's been caught 4 years in a row snagging now. Maybe he'll think twice after 50 days in jail.

Every day we should be allowed to pelt him with rotting spawned out fish. Maybe the "Shick Shadel" aversion therapy treatment might work.

I'm actually amazed to read this. I've always seen these cases settled for pennies, dropped, or just flat not prosecuted. Go Pacific county. Seems like there are some folks in positions of influence there that understand the nature of game crime and it's importance to maintaining ethical sporting activities. I make no bones about the fact I hate snagging with a passion. I would have sympathy for a fifteen year old kid with bad examples but a 66 year old. No sympathy. Fifty days has to send a message.

WDFW refers to the perpetrator as a "recreational fisherman"? C'mon!

Is it this guy?

That dipshit is from Montana. And in spite of the conclusion of "case dismissed" he was eventually fined $400 after attempting to represent himself and being a general pain in the ass. Sadly, they waived jail time.

Can we use the poaching hot line at O.D.FW. to report O.D.F.W. for not enforcing their own rules ?

Multiple offense snaggers should be forced to stand in a river naked and let any/all who want attempt to snag them.

This drives me crazy. The perpetrator was neither an “angler” or a “recreational fisherman”
I rewrote it for them-

There’s the truth!

"Get a rope"

I like that they suspended his ability to get a license for five years. Because that will stop it. “Well, today’s a great day to go poaching, but I don’t have a license anymore.”

Is there a mugshot?

Walleye Tournament Cheater Is Also a Deer Poacher

Chase Cominsky—one of the two anglers found guilty of putting lead weights in walleye in the infamous Lake Erie Walleye Scandal—is currently facing multiple wildlife violation charges. A Pennsylvania Game Warden assigned to Mercer County filed eight charges against Cominsky, alleging that between...

Based on my experience in the state of Washington almost all fall salmon fishing in rivers is snagging. That is not to say there are not legit salmon fishing opportunities and Anglers but the number of corky snaggers greatly outweighs them.

And they always out-catch me.

My experience has been much different.
