Its a pretty sad world right now. Tonight i had dinner with a guy was who is a emergency room cardiologist and telling me how he is having a hard time paying the bills and cant even get out of debt from medical school after 4 years with no hope in sight for 10 years. Yea, there are others that make good money but not all "professionals" are living the high life that people think.
As for the math .. just to help out, its 12 fish total, not 8.. The average size of a striper is more around 15-25lbs for a fair range, 40lbs each is a little silly, the price per pound lets ranges with supply and demand from 2.50 to 3.50, and we divide by two since there are two people, which will yield high and lows each of >> 2.5*15*12 /2 = $225 each >> 3.5*25*12 /2 = $525 each
im not debating what they did as right or wrong, just saying, four fish over the limit per person dosent sound like hardcore criminals to me. Was this catch (12 total) a big or small catch for them? we dont know... Regardless, when you think that there are people that can legally catch and sell stripers in CT, it less bothersome, atleast to me. Im sure these guys would have got the licenses if the system would have allowed them, but most commercial licenses tend to be impossible to obtain which is something that seems wrong to me.
The funny part is that Im sure the guy will be out fishing again next year, 4 fish over the limit is not that serious, if the guy knows what he is doing, the case will get plea bargained and he walks out a few hours later.. His reputation will be alittle hurt, maybe for years, i guess thats why his name was press relesaed before due process.. I dunno, maybe Im just a softeee .. But there is just a lot wrong in the world right now and this chiropractor guy is something that dosent bother me that much..
