The 2,073 individual fins represent a total of 518 sharks possessed by the two fishermen bringing the total number of sharks possessed to 529. The daily commercial limit for sharks in Louisiana is 33 per vessel placing the two men 496 sharks over their daily limit


Wowzers.
At least it was sharks and not The Red Snapper.

Not really familiar with the term "zipper heads"? Is that in reference to a shark poacher, in general? Or, is it in reference to the fact the two sorry assed poachers are asian?

If what upset you about this story was the fact that two asians were involved, you seriously missed the importance of the arrest. But then again, I haven't lived in Louisiana in a few years, so I suppose since I've been gone, ALL non-asian poachers have relented -- thereby making the only illegal fishermen in existence to be of asian pursuasion?

What is the deal with the Asians in Venice and illegally taking sharks? I have a buddy that has a house boat down there and said they've pulled up to it a few times and had them on the deck cleaning out sharks.

I've also heard other people reference how the Asians down there fish illegally.
