Illegal Dolphin

[Tacos&Beer]

Long Version..Fished of Islandia today cause too narley for the yak or my 21'. Being Catholic fish had to be on the menu tonight and i'll be damned if i'll pay $10 for store bought fish when I can catch my own for $60. Slow pick but managed some nice Reds and Treas for dinner. One of the free-loaders gets bent and the fish is taking line! After quick fight a nice ling is the prize (32"???) The Gaff comes out but they only hit the soft part of the jaw. Skipper explains that lings arn't in season and disperses the crowd. 20 min later my buddy, calico kid, has to relieve himself so I watch his rod. He returns to report that the ling is alive and well in the front bait well!!!!!!!!!!!!! I wresteled with what to do........ We all (at least myself) have done some crap that was borderline. No, I decided..this is too blatnat. Call DFG. Give coordinates and they are on it. The officer calls my cell and says he's closing in, can I stall them. Once at the dock, I tell the crew I can't pay my tab will they let me run up to ATM while Calico stay's w/ the gear.Yes. At the Atm, DFG roles up and is b-lining to the Dolphin. Jason Runs to the front pushes Calico aside and tosses the Ling. The DFG guy gives them a haseel but the damage is done. DFG is pissed and ask us if we'll testify for destruction of evidence. YESSSS!!!!!! More to be continued as it comes
