Must have been trying to sell them.

At least they've seized the boat. That's something. 

I'd assume that this was for trade? Be good if they can find potential buyers and prosecute them as well.

I think they often seize the boat, then the sob story goes to court and they often get it back.
I read one story at Maketu a yr or so ago. The mongrel mob boys had given MPI the slip on the way back to ramp and got away. MPI knew who they were looking for and finally found the boat hiding at another property and seized it. Court gave it back - after all the effort they had gone to, to apprehend the buggers. Something to do with the way they took it from memory.

95% undersized, this looks like a commercial operation but without the quota. Hope they get the same penalties.

Think it reads that 95 were under size not 95% .... nevertheless still outrageous.

Actually only 9x as a group of 5 but as an individual yes 45x.
Why not present the facts rather than over state the fact, either way still not an acceptable take no matter what the reason

Tzer, exactly what I was going to say, typical journalists not doing basic homework, yes only 9 times the limit for 5 people.

They need to start throwing the book at some of these guys and get them doing serious jail time.

If the fisheries guys are smart they will wait till its hooked up to the car, then they can seize both I'm told.

Regrettably the MPI team in the field can do a great job only for it all to be totally undermined once the case is in court and the lawyers and sob stories are wheeled in...
