    That is good to see.  Besides the fines, a more suitable punishment would have been for them to be forced to keep the video of their stupid activity on the web and at the end make them admit to their crime and explain their fines so any would-be poachers who might want to give netting a steelhead a try will know that Ohio does not take poaching lightly.  Of course, it would have been interesting if the judge had sentenced them to some sort of community service like cleaning up a stream in conjunction with the fines.

    Im just glad to see that SOMETHING happened. I figured this would somehow be hushed because of where these idiots are from. Its good to see it was pursued.

    Mikastorm already did that a couple weeks ago here.  He posted a picture that gave the location away, plain as day.  At least Trout Run is still secret.  Ooops!

    i concur...
    if you got a chance to see the vidoe before it was yanked, these guys were disgusting...
    or maybe just ignorant...

    education, stream cleanup + fines should be the time for the crime...
    wouldn't it be nice to see these guys have to go around to communities and educate similar folk... PSA style

    Just watched the video - not yanked - still there and disgusting. PUNKS ! Real losers ! Would like to see them get jail time and end up being a prison bi*ch. Looks like they could come by it naturally with their yuppie looks. I guess that made them feel good.  $200 wasn't enough - suspended sentence wasn't enough.  Dave

    A bit harsh?  Aren't you usually the voice of reason?

    Sorry T.T. got a little carried away. Should've counted to 10 after watching the video before posting. The voice of reason is back. The neanderthal left.    Dave
