I've sent off an email to the DPI asking for a please explain, I don't care how many (if any) people want to glorify this capture, remarkable though it is, if the ID is correct and it is a Qld Groper, something should be done, rules are there for a reason (well most of the time anyway) and everyone has to obey them, imagine if it were you or I with the fish and get pulled up at the ramp by DPI, we'd be fined hardcore, might even serve jail time (protected, threatened species and all), and commercial guys would be even worse off than us. If the fish does indeed get officially ID'd as a QG, I sencerely hope that the DPI make an example out of this bloke and I hope that there is something that can be done about the Newspaper's and TV news pinning this bloke up as a hero, condoning the slaughter of a protected species, after all, they do have the onus to make sure their information is correct before publishing in any media format available to the public.
