The investigation's code words, Operation Panulirus, were taken from the scientific name for the shellfish delicacy, Panulirus interruptus.
... Operation Panulirus involved about 15 game wardens, some of them from as far away as San Diego and Ventura. They were assisted by the Long Beach Police Department and the Los Angeles County Sheriff's Department and relied on radar, electronic surveillance equipment, night scopes and binoculars to monitor the suspects' activities and bait their traps with the living evidence.
Then they waited.
A gripping tale of espionage on the high seas...er, in the deep sea. Just wow.

I’ve Got The “I Got Caught In A Lobster Trap” Blues
I was just going fishin’, with a heckuva plan,
When I found out by dumb luck, I’d been caught by The Man.
Said I broke quite a few laws, and some limits as well,
Guess I’m now in a steam pot, and it’s here I shall dwell.
Oh, they caught me red-handed, and they slipped the cuffs on,
Those darn tight rubber handcuffs, sure are almighty strong.
I was free on the water, and now I’m in the soup,
If it weren’t for these handcuffs, I would sure fly the coop.
I got the I got caught in a lobster trap blues.
My face sure turned red when this hit the news!
It’s a heck of a fix.
Wish they’d stop taking pix.
I got the I got caught in a lobster trap blues.

I wouldn't be surprised if we have some lobster people FReepers, or FReepers who know some lobster people.

Ok, who has read the short stories of Jack London, especially his "Fish Patrol" series? Just curious.

All this cloak and dagger stuff to catch a couple of guys who catch lobstahs really cracks me up, Beachy.
Boat owner Hulse was charged with grand theft of property belonging to the people of California, and possession of fraudulent documents, both felonies, authorities said. Sambrano was charged with a single count of grand theft of property worth more than $400 from the people of the state.
I'm a "people of California" and I want my lobstah back!!!

Nothing, really. Just some short fiction based on London's experience as a fisheries warden working off a sailboat (!) in the greater San Fransisco harbor area. I recommend them to everyone.
