Sir, the fish are not the items being illegally smuggled and detained on board.  We are allowing the product which are human being to be brought in and detained on board.  That is undeniable and proven by testimony at Representative Kaneiela Ing's hearing.  It is admitted to by the smugglers, the seafood industry and the department of Aquatic Resources.  You are an industry supporter.  Naturally you want unlawful cheap labor.  Ever wonder why you fellow Hawaiian citizens don't go long line fishing.  Cheap, detained on board, foreign labor has all the work.  Locals "need not apply".  Pay an American citizen a decent wage and he will fish. Happens all over the country but here.
And please don't tell me what the feds found.  Just spend a moment and look at what the State of Hawaii found.  Get the testimony from the Ocean. Marine Life, and Hawaiian Affairs Committee chaired by Representative Ing.  You are going to see a lot of ew legislation in 2017.  Health, labor, taxes...coming.
