Md. officials seize 3 tons of rockfish

"KENT ISLAND, Md. (AP) - Three tons of rockfish trapped in an illegal, 900-yard net have been seized, authorities said Tuesday.

The seizure, one of the largest ever for the Natural Resources Police, required authorities to bring in an icebreaker to carry the load."

I am really surprised they allow gill nets at all. Supervised or not they are killers.

It seems it hasn't just stopped there.
Check out all the locations
If this isn't a reason to stop gill netting, I don't know of a better one.

Rockfish bust halts season
