Illegal stripers fine? - The Hull Truth

Saturday I was hanging around Oregon Inlet ramps when I seen a Wildlife officer confiscate 2 huge stripers off a boat. They were obviously in some serrious trouble but I didn't want to be too nosey and hang around. Anyone know what the fine is for that?

I can't remember exactly, I think it is $75.00 per fish plus the cost to replace the fish, (maybe $225.00). Again not sure if this is correct.

well if they caught them on the bridge.... I would say I caught them on the shoals, and its legal year around ocean over 28'' so how big is huge?

They looked longer than 30" but if the officer was carrying them off they could have been smaller. I got there in time to see them carried off. I didn't see if he measured them or not. I have caught lots of stripers 30" and around 10lbs. He certainly took them from them without any negotiation
