The type of probation he is on is a joke. He will not be required to check in with a probation officer. If he lives an honest lifestyle he wont even know its there.

And they will allow him to make small payments on his fine.

He killed a protected animal, not a person, but I agree his punishment is a bit light. IMO, he should've gotten a stiffer fine and forced to do a bunch of community service. The article didn't mention if being a commercial fisherman was his only source of income, so I won't complain about him not having a lifetime ban on his commercial or personal fishing license.
