Item: Possess fish of a size that does not comply with size limit, fail to comply with terms of a licence, possess more fish than the possession quota
Description: Selkirk officers conducted a recreational fishery check stop near the Red River. One of the vehicles inspected was occupied by two male subjects. In a cooler in their boat was a combination of 6 walleye/sauger. The subjects stated that they had no more fish. They gave consent to search and 3 other (large) walleyes were found hidden in a storage compartment. Marcelino SANJUAN of Winnipeg was charged with the 3 violations listed. One of the walleyes was 29 inches in length which required a signature and date of capture on the back of SANJUAN's angling licence. He had kept more than one walleye over 22 inches and was over his possession quota. He was assessed the specified penalty of $414. All fish were forfeited to the Crown. SANJUAN has a previous conviction for keeping more than 1 walleye over 22 inches, dating back to 1999. He received a $62 fine for that offence.
