A Windsor man – Edmond Parent – caught on video illegally clubbing a fish and tossing it back into the water last fall has been fined $1,000 under the Fisheries Act for failing to release an undersized muskie in a way that would not cause further harm to the fish.

A video of the incident went viral after an angler fishing near Parent captured the act with a camera. It made its way to social media and has since been seen more than 333,000 times.
Parent was also banned from fishing for two years.
My grandfather used to club every pike we caught with an empty OV bottle.
You sound proud of that…. ??
GOOD!! Hope the fine wipes that smug look off his face.
Nice to see justice served. Fishing attitudes like this should never be tolerated. I hope they do the same with cottagers who harass fisherman.
