This is outragious illegal behaviour.. All three west hawaii tropical fisherman were members with PIJAC to make a EIS recently.,all 14 tropical fisherman wanting the entire west side of Big Island to themselves . Each spent $10 K for the EIS and Pijac floated the rest. They all just shot themselves in the foot. Now all of Hawaii will want to close all of Hawaii do to these idiots GREED. The rest of the fisherman in Hawaii are pissed off at these bad role models. We teach our kids" take care of the Aina, the ocean ,our Mother. Dont take undersized,or out of season fish,, or fish KAPU areas. In the old days u would lose a hand or your life. Maybe we should consider the fine to be a state felony, not a petty misdemeanor. . Please dont shut down a fishery because of some greedy fisherman. We have to feed our families as well as u do yours. These illegal caught fish should have been stopped. at the Kona airport. They are required to be inspected by the Dept of Ag before shipped. Who dropped the ball there All of us fisherman need to be the extra, new fish police, and catch and report our uncles and aunties if they break the fish laws., kapu Respectfully Aloha Dan Dolaptchieff Keaau , Hawaii East side Disabled vet and fisherman,boat builder
