Another story at Poacher loses license after daring underwater bust

What I don't understand is after hearing stories of lobster poachers losing all their gear and boat, how this guy still had anything left to continue committing crimes like this

It could be he didn't own the gear or the boat. If I was a proffessional poacher, I would use rental gear, and have no equity in the boat. As mentioned above, it's not considered a big crime by the courts.
