Remember this is one boat, imagine the amount of fish that are brought to market bypassing protocols intended to quantify commercial quotas. Take this entire site over the course of our lifetimes and collectively we probably wouldn't harvest 70,000 fluke unless you include Roger and Dan and maybe Dave since he has a new fluke rod and Henry lets him fish on his boat

Bryan and Asa Gosman and the company they partially own — Bob Gossman Co. Inc. — previously pleaded guilty for their role in the fishing fraud conspiracy. In total, approximately 200,000 pounds of fluke and black sea bass were overharvested, with a conservative wholesale valuation of $750,000.
