  1. Way to go troopers. The dive fishery has been dirty for way too long.

  2. The problem is that it never happened. One goofball got boarded and made an accusation against another boat. The overlimit charge is from the divers putting themselves on an 800 pound limit. It is very hard to guess exact weights. 80 lbs over got a bunch of guys tickets.
