Fishermen wanted to catch whoever was looting their underwater crab traps in the act. It was wolves.

In your face, Sig Hansen!

Went to court and he claimed he didn’t know about the law, which was true, but that excuse doesn’t ever work.

Unless you're a Democrat.

[No name given]

That’s because the democrats are demons sent from hell itself.

Where was Cosmo Kramer at the time?

Oh wait those were lobsters 🦞🦞🦞

I confess that when my submarine was in dry dock in Portsmouth Naval Shipyard, which is on the Portsmouth, NH and Kittery, ME border, I would scuba dive off the barge we operated out of while in dry dock and steal lobsters for our surf and turf parties off base on Friday evenings at one of the cook’s house. He would bring a sea bag stuffed with rib eye steaks and I would bring a sea bag stuffed with lobsters and ice. Others brought booze and appetizers, etc. We did that at least 10 times while we were there. I was young and careless. I knew one could get shot for stealing lobsters. Figured they had to see me first.

Give em some linguini - they’ll eat the clams

The first Sea Wolf to discover this must have been thrilled. Wait until I tell the pack about this !

I recall seeing something on a nature show about monkeys on a remote Japanese island. Naturalists were studying them, and to get close to them the naturalist put out peanuts in the sand near the shore. The monkeys loved them. One female started to scoop up a couple of handsful, wade out to hip high depth, and throw them in sea to wash off the sand. (And maybe salt them?) The other monkeys observed and pretty soon, they were all doing it. The monkeys did not previously go into the sea, now they all were.

And some struggling commercial fisherman paid a heavy price for your thievery. Not something to be proud about.

[jacknhoo]

Certainly not proud about that part. Like I said, I was careless at that age.
We certainly had fun at the parties though.

What state? In Florida it $2500 fine last I knew to even mess with someone’s crab trap.

Florida does a nice job being a sane state...
