He didn't know that it was EAB. He was going on the assumption that the rules are the same as they have been for that zone for a number of seasons now.

As for not respecting the law, if I'm considered a disrespecter of the law if I think that $2000 and three years is a bit stiff for keeping a 14" fish while not knowing that the limit is 15", then so be it. That penalty is not reasonable.


So does anyone have any advice on how to proceed with the legal process?
