it should read as a fine for each invasive species in possession, ie, if you are caught with a carp, herring , etc.
I've fished for Stripe for over 20 years and i have personally never been on a boat that the bait was checked to see what one was using. I have had the fish box checked, fishing license, etc. but never the bait. I know it has been illegal but how often do they "really" check? I would rather them start enforcing current laws than make new regulations. smh.
