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 |
