When the news of a record catfish was caught in the media, there was outrage in the fishing community: fish, they say, caught unauthorized and therefore rejoicing in the catch, arrogant. The environmentalists will also explain the circumstances of the case. If the guilt of the fisherman who caught the catfish is proven, you will have to considerably thin your wallet.
Lithuanian sport fishing champion Evaldas Bubulis shared a video of a catfish weighing about 90 kilograms stretched out on land on a personal Facebook account of the social network. The man said the latter material was sent to him by a customer after receiving it from a person who accidentally saw the incident. The famous man is said to be asked whether such a method of catching fish is legal.
“As I imagine, maybe people stayed or fished and put a tripod or some kind of hook on the tail of the fish. According to the laws in force in Lithuania, this is called a hook, and if the fish is not caught through from the head area, it must be thrown, not even photographed. Whether it is alive or not, it cannot be carried, “explained E. Bubulis.
The Lithuanian sport fishing champion was outraged that such behavior, when a huge fish is caught and enjoyed and brought home to display, is a legacy of Soviet thought.
“For some time now, Lithuania has raised its fishing culture to a much higher level, and the laws now in the field of environmental protection do not correspond at all to this moment. We are trying to win so that the size of the fish caught has limits ”, the interlocutor opened.
These fish, I certainly won’t lie, are around 100 years old. Take a fish like that and eat it like nowhere … It’s not easy to breed it like that.
According to him, the latest boundary setting would prevent such cases when a huge fish like this catfish is caught in Lake Sartai. “These fish, I won’t lie, they are about 100 years old. Catch a fish like that and eat it like nowhere else. It’s not easy to raise it like this, ”said E. Bubulis angrily.
When journalists from the portal contacted the head of the Panevėžys Wildlife Inspectorate, Mante Ramanauskienė, she confirmed that they were aware of the incident. On May 17, a report was received of a possible illegal catch of catfish. According to her, the person who did it was identified. But environmentalists are clarifying the circumstances.
If it turns out that the person is guilty, he will have to compensate nature for the illegally caught fish, about 480 euros and will be responsible for the prohibited fishing method. The Code of Administrative Offenses establishes that such an act is punishable by a fine of between € 120 and € 300.
“Everything will depend on the clarified circumstances,” said M. Ramanauskienė.
