A poacher from Sioux Falls, South Dakota was caught with 58 walleyes, 42 caught in just the last week. The conservation officer observed the poacher for several days after the TIPs caller reported he had been fishing below Oahe Dam numerous times during the day, using different vehicles. He was fined $1286.50 and must pay $2100 in civil damages.
