It is not justice that "He paid the ultimate price in doing that illegal behavior". Death as penalty for poaching is far too severe, however the penalties that are available seem too small. Perhaps if DFG had caught him earlier this tragedy might have been averted.
It's sad this guy died poaching, however his family and friends need to get a clue, he was obviously not an angel.
"They put tons of pressure on [fishermen], always trying to shut down their fishing spots. They're always trying to shut down their livelihoods. It's always been a heartache." ….. No DFG is trying to maintain the resource for all including the fishermen. Over fishing will deplete the resource until there is nothing left.
"He's an honest, hard-working person," .... who was a poacher whole stole a resource from everyone else for his own gain.
