You have a link to that story, I doubt evidence in a Federal case is ever turned onver to a "friend" to keep.

No link but I can tell you which magazine I read the story and saw the accompanying photos in.

It's pretty arrogant to have the fish on display at ones restaurant.They have to be well aware that the fish is not allowed here.I recall reading a story about a bag of baby Formosus arowanas was confiscated at a New York airport and they were later given to a friend of one of the agents.To keep.

Highly doubt it was given to friend of agent to keep, but then again anything is possible

I must be the only TFH reader here.The entire story is in the February 2007 issue,you can doubt it all you want but like you said,anything is possible.

I wish they would make AA's legal! I have wanted one for a very long time now I know I would not post the address to a place that I enjoyed eating at and saying they have illegal fish they could get a huge fine and plus loose the fish which would most likely culled ..... got to be carful about what you say and how you say it you never know who might read it .... the otehr night I read a post I can not remember who posted the link but the link was a artical about agents going undercover trieing to buy and caliming they have AA's for salae as well ...

I work with the DEA a lot tracking dirty money. Maybe next time the get a big dope seizure they will let me keep it, I am a "friend".

You ever hear of chain of custody? Maybe the "friend" worked at a zoo. No civilian would ever take custody of an illegal commodity. I do not have access to the article but the whole premise is juvenile.

These boards are looked at by the authorities, post the exact address and the next time you dine there they will no longer have that fish. If I owned that place and some idiot placed that picture and my address on the internet, I would be pissed.

Breaking federal laws are not a joke. I would love to have an Asian arro, but I am not dumb enough to post a picture along with my location if I had one.

We're well aware that these boards are monitored by Moderators! What's the difference between the picture of that fish and your avatar?

I was in conversation with the california dept. that handles fish matters about something and the lady told me that although they don't monitor online forum boards that heavily, they do take tips from people that are on said boards. Also that they do follow through with the tips when they lead to a solid matter that is easy to take care of.

So, for the information of all who post there is a strong reason to refrain from posting about illegal fish. Added to this it really wrecks the standing of a fish forum if it is seen that posting about illegal fish is a valid activity.

Personally I don't care or need to know about illegal fish and where someone is keeping them. I would rather be able to enjoy something like mfk talking about above the board stuff.
