Airwaves, whether you meant to or not, this post has come off as a personal attack on elchase.
Poaching is a very serious matter, but you have absolutely no proof of illegal fishing - he never said that he kept the fish in question. If this case was to go before a judge based on elchase’s statement, it would be thrown out of court.
The original thread was titled
Sailing and was posted in the Boating Forum. Scroll down to post #50. Personally I think it would have been better if you had kept elchase's quote this in the thread it was posted. That is a very big reason your post looks like an attack. IMHO.
