CO busts, amazing what you read:

There aren't many party boats fishing for black fish this time of year period much less in Belmar. Maybe two or three party boats I would think. It's sad if the report is true that mates from one of those boats kept 72 under sized black fish alive to sell to the black market. It's got to be difficult telling your paying customers to throw back shorts when deck hands are keeping them alive to sell back at the docks. If the story is true, pretty bogus thing for the Captain or owner of the party boat involved to do and in the process give the other party boat owners a bad rap not knowing which boat we're talking about here. As if business isn't difficult enough, someone has the nerve to allow their mates / deckhands to get away with this crap. If I were one of the party boat operators not involved, I'd be pissed at the JO who got caught for the negative publicity. Idiots!
