Sport fisherman are trophy fishing. They kill so they can brag. === That's not entirely accurate in my experience. Many of them do eat their catch or give it away to friends, family and dockmates. Most of the large but not trophy fish get photographed and released. If you see a sportfisherman at the dock with a good catch of Mahi Mahi or Wahoo, offer to buy some and they will usually end up giving you enough for a good meal or two. |

I've never met a sportfisherman who did not eat what he caught. If he catches something inedible or protected such as a tarpon, it's returned live presumably to prosper as before. --- This email has been checked for viruses by Avast antivirus software. https://www.avast.com/antivirus |
