While I understand the sentiment to "seize all the gear and boat and truck" it is not in the States interest to do so. The gear, yea probably a small cost to store and possibly forfeit at some later point, a boat and truck- Big costs to store and I do not know if NJ forfeiture laws allow the State to forfeit those real properties. Even if it does given the length of time such a legal issue would take in the court system, the state would likely spend more money on storage and maintaining of the property then they are worth, particularly if the property has third party liens from any bank or financial institution that lent money to finance the purchase of them. The CO did the best he or she could do under the circumstances. About the only other thing that could be followed up on, is of the fish were intended to be sold to a restaurant or some fishmonger, then finding and fining them could be a further step.
