You guys are really over reacting, a 6,000$ fine is plenty to drive the point home. That persons family is not having Christmas this year due to his mistake. Admittedly I do not know all the details in the case but I have a hard time believing that after getting hit this hard he would be a repeat offender. Its a painful lesson to learn, and stepping up the fines/ adding jail time/ modifying any of the current laws is a foolish endeavor.
Fish and Wildlife have the tools to do the job and if its an issue of enforcement do a blanket increase on the cost of fishing licenses of 5$'s province wide that would definitely help without taking up a reactionary like position.
