I watched a guy get busted for snagging 3 times (same spot same DNR officer)  before the haul his butt in for good.  He was snagging within a 1/4 mile of the county jail & courthouse.  Here in Michigan they do take your car ect if you are caught poaching.  I worked with a guy who kept a Lake Trout out of season.  He lost his truck, all of his fishing gear, was fined $500 and $500 court costs, $10 per inch in restitution (30 inch something) and lost his fishing & hunting privileges for 10 years.  Some of the judges here do take game violations very seriously

True story told to me by the Erie WCO who posts on fisherie.com:
He was sitting back in a secluded spot upstream from the Manchester hole one Wednesday and spotted a fellow from Ohio netting steelhead and putting them in his cooler.  He was arrested and detained until he paid his fine.  The local soup kitchen got the fish.

One week later to the day he was caught again with even more fish and didn't have enough cash for fines.  Spent time in the slammer.
