Good work fella's, scumbags like this should be locked up and banned for life catching anything. Crazy if these are the ones you catch, imagine how many people around world are. Just question, if some crays and papua are still alive put them back in water straight away. You take to long.
Need to set a number over which it becomes mandatory to confiscate all equipment. This many undersized and over the daily limit should come with an automatic forfeit of all equipment.
If you live in land and only get out once or twice a year find a permit go online ring up. As much as I hate poachers gota feel for those that don’t get out every weekend like us who live on the coast but you have to do it by the book count your blessings you got to keep everything
Before Pouawa became a M. reserve while free diving that area I saw confiscated crays tossed back into the water on an outgoing tide to later be seen washed ashore in tiny waves barely alive, what I'm saying here is why were they not tossed back into the sea by then MAF in deeper water when it was obvious to all that saw this that day knowing the crays would soon be high and dry to fry.
Fines too low. That should be jail and banned from fishing for life. People might start taking more serious then. It's funny how these scum always take cheap cars and boats when they're breaking laws. They don't care about loosing them because they're worth nothing and if they go a couple times breaking law it pays for them so they're not really loosing anything apart from catch. Which they don't care because they'll come back the next day.
How many keyboard warriors here actually go diving? Let those of you who is without sin cast the first stone. What he did was by law, wrong, and he'll get whatever punishment is warranted.
As if you have done a good job, the fisheries have been raped by large scale operations for the past five decades and not by the Maori. And as far as I know without the coastal tribes forcing change in regulations it would still be going on. And the coastal tribes are at the for front of seabed restoration. Wtf have you done?
How can you catch poachers 4 or 5 times? Their boat and gear should be seized the first time. Obviously it is lucrative to ignore the penalties and keep doing it. What a waste of resources. Enforce or get off the pot!
i think they should have impounded his boat for 90 days and then made him pay impound fees to retrieve it, canada they would not get away with this,,, they would get vigillante justice if caught by sportsmen and our co"S would throw the book at them
At least he was honest. For the best of Coastwatch 👉 ruclips.net/p/PL5GcyJPe60NjOVOTpmQjOsfNRl9sZFwtR

wtf deport
His honesty, c’mon man he said he knew the sizes and quantity he’s allowed but chose to ignore them, confiscate everything
As this show was made a number of years ago. I really hope the courts and MPI have made much harsher punishments for this disrespectful poaching!
Destroying the future catches for everyone should have harsher penalties
Can’t believe they didn’t seize everything.
Need to set a number over which it becomes mandatory to confiscate all equipment. This many undersized and over the daily limit should come with an automatic forfeit of all equipment.
They should have just seized everything - he wont learn..
Am i the only one that thought that it said creedy.😂😂😂😂😂
"Remorseful" my butt. No doubt he'll just get a slap on the wrist punishment and will do it again. Typical New Zealand justice.
he was 2 keep his boat b,cause of his honesty lol he will go else where ok.
This is why ive only ever seen 3 crays in auckland while diving.
Sneaky poachers keep taking too many 😔
The courts seem to be in on this . Almost every time they let them of almost scott free..No wonder they just keep on coming back
I want to become a greedy FisherMan 👍😁
Should go prison for this, teach everyone a lesson. And respect our marine life
...haven't seen that small for a while actually .... should never be seen !
By the end, not sure what was the lesson learned. 😕
I heard a new Zealand man married an out board motor and the motor had not even been serviced.
Jail
That's not the crayfish I know
Crime pays sadly.
If you live in land and only get out once or twice a year find a permit go online ring up. As much as I hate poachers gota feel for those that don’t get out every weekend like us who live on the coast but you have to do it by the book count your blessings you got to keep everything
He will do it all AGAIN
Well lock them up then
The fine will hurt him
geez I wonder why the east cape is a hot spot for poaching..... hmmmm
So you caught me bite me..
Put them back
So if the crayfish are undersized but still alive, why not just throw them back in the water?
They did! If you actually watch the video to the end. You would know this

yep what BS he should have lost everything , he said he knew the limits , and he was only being honest because like he said he was fucked ,
What will they do when we lose the Arctic ice?

Why dont they put them back
If u mean the officers, they did put them back. Probably at the rocks because you cant just chuck them back in the surf.
you know they are keeping them they could throw them back but nope they wont
Rules state that if the marine life is still alive at the time of confiscation, they must be put back in the ocean.
Yep common practice to return if possible.

good that we can trust maori to preserve our fishery

No surprise here
Rubbish they lie through their teeth when it suits them, but don’t care about others!
One only has to look at all the prisoners in jail or prison, they are all there for dishonesty in some shape or form!
@@DaveBooth-qs7sw don't be too eager to throw stones... The Crown is well known for it's dishonesty in all forms.
can you please just be a little more careful after you get them? at least if you film it

And the boats fiching evrithing
He admitted to his greed. Out by himself at sea. I forgive
The fine should be $100,000. min.
55th
