Lovely article.  It is good to know that federal and state officers enforce laws.   Had a feeling that was how it worked.  Yeah, people with badges enforce laws. Other nice people volunteer, watch, reporters write stories and help to educate the public. I get it now.  I was a little confused but only for a while.  Would it be safe to say that ICE/CBP enforce immigration and naturalization laws and DLNR (DOCARE) enforce fishing laws. Learn something new every day.  Nihoa had a bad week.  True, can you imagine having a bad life.  Just a thought.  And now a question what ever happened to Tommy Friel?  He had a badge and knew both fishing and immigration laws.  "The fool doth think he is wise, but the wise man knows himself to be a fool" (William Shakespeare, AS YOU LIKE IT). The long liners are not satisfied with their little scam .  "Too much of a good thing".  Shakespeare was a smart guy.  Rui and Nate, I respect you guys.  Don't say that very often anymore.  Peace be upon us all.
