the newport beach police were involved as well as the DFG. if they wanted to get him im sure they could have. Lots of complaints.
When they interviewed the angler he apeard to play dumb. I will say that, im sure he knew what he was doing, He was informed it was a protected fish and continued to "go on with his buisness" The boat owner should have gotten the shaft to, but they didnt have anythign to convict him on either. Sad.
I wa shoping they would cite those guys to set an example to everyone that what they did was wrong and that even if DFG arent watching law abiding angler are.
That pier is crowded regularly, they should have had DFg monitoring it more frequently. It could have stopped that.
