Reminder: Miniseason is July 27 and 28
A Tampa man wound up being fined more than $13,000 for trying to get a jump on lobster mini-season in July 2010, according to the Florida Fish and Wildlife Conservation Commission.
After being declared guilty by Monroe County Judge Peary Fowler in a Feb. 11 hearing, Shabott was fined $12,150 and assessed court costs for a total cost of $13,095. The fines work out to $335 per illegally taken lobster. KeysNet
And I thought that my bill for miniseason was expensive last year. Try going a few days early like this jackalope. I mean seriously, is it that hard to find lobsters during miniseason that you have to go two days early?
I suppose I could understand if this guy couldn't take off of work and was so pissed that he drove down the weekend before and created his own mini-miniseason, but this dumbass was there on Monday just wringing tails like it was going out of style.
The worst part is at $335 per tail, he still doesn't get to eat any of those tasty bugs. Something tells me he will be paying extra special attention to our countdown timer this year.
