Lab~rat, according to the account, Nesmith was fined an amount equal to
approximately half of the team's estimated winnings of $15,000, plus loss of
the boat and some tackle. Thomas will presumably be treated the same. When
all is said and done they won't retain any winnings. Add to that the scorn
of their peers, loss of reputation and standing in the community,
prohibition from owning a fishing license for a period of time and an
indefinite term on tournament fishing blacklists.... A net loss for both men
by any accounting.

Half the winnings, $250 fine and $148 court costs? Except for the 'no
fishing license' thing, it sounds like they came out ahead...
