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.
