"State conservation officers believed they broke up an illegal caviar ring Monday by arresting 12 southern Indiana residents on accusations of running a network that generated as much as $400,000 for some fishermen.
Members of the ring caught paddlefish from Ohio River tributaries and then sold their eggs as caviar, according to the Indiana Department of Natural Resources. One paddlefish can yield as much as $800 in eggs, and annual income for those who catch them can range from $100,000 to $400,000.
'It's easy money, it's just like picking cherries,' Sgt. Dean Shadley said. 'And I'm sure that was tax free. I can't imagine they reported it.'"
