Is "Pouching" a new angling catchphrase...lol

So what your saying is poaching is not a crime??

[Brian the fisherman]

i believe he is saying that while poaching is a crime, the coward men in the truck had no right to act in the manor they did.
Do people have zero dignity or self respect anymore?

This discussion is going beyond the point implied. imo it should be closed to posts.
Too many people glazing over a point...

what do you think?

is that "poaching" justifying what those champions did?

do you know why for "poaching" there is a ticket while for a crime like that they should go behind the bars?

who give them the rights to take law in their hands?  who to f... they think they are?

do you at all understand the difference here?  why there are different terms used for violation and for crime?

Did any of you ever have that feeling though when u tell someone something over and over and they don't learn or listen, so u feel like punching the person. Could be your own kid even. I know I do. Only most of us have that little voice inside that tells us it's not a good idea. Like Jim Carey once put it - uh uh uh... turning your car into incoming traffic is counterproductive... Those guys just lack that inside voice. It's called a conscience.

The elderly Asian man fishing in a closed area is beside the point of this thread.

Maybe not to the thread but to the incident it is important. Asking people to ignore the fact is frankly, dishonest and not ethical. We can neither condone the infraction of the fishing regulations or the assault. This is not a situation of choosing between the lesser of two evils. If the location was properly posted and the victim and witnesses both knew and obeyed the fishing regulations the conflict would have been far less likely to have occurred.

I agree. That's not what I was trying to say, could have just worded wrong. I'm not attempting to downplay the significance of fishing regulation infractions.

I have not read in anyone's posts that try to downplay the illegal fishing part of the events. They are separate, the first, illegal angling and the second , assult ,property damage and possibly hate crime. Separate the two events; the first party is wrong in doing what they are doing, the reasons, matter not. The second party is also wrong to do what they did , the reasons matter not.

 Each should pay their dues to the legal fiddler.
