Not only did he get his fish confiscated, but will lose out on about
$400,000.00


All because it was caught in a net and not by a rod.


Too bad he didn't have a rod on the boat. Poke a hole in the fish's
mouth and spin a yarn. You might get on the cover of a fishing
magazine.
There are also the sponsorships, "I caught this fish on my Shakespeare
rod, with Trilene line *and my trusty Penn reel".


Rod? *881 pound tuna isn't coming in on a rod. *Might tear off your arms
if your rod is strapped to them.


Say what??
What kind of girliemen are you, out there in Alberta?
Lookie here..........
