I guess it has more to do with how many fish you are cleaning. In our

My filets aren't designed to be multi-cut. Just get it off the fish. I

it would go faster...

Only six pigs would pull and keep 150 fish out of the ocean. That's 25
fish each.

Oink, oink, oink.

Might be the plan was to give some of it to homeless or needy people.
But, I suppose that might not have occurred to one of the me-me-me folks.

The other possibility is selling them.
When I was fishing in Md the captain had a deal with a fish market in
Rockville to take all the fish off our hands for a reasonable price.
It made the fishing cheaper.
I saw it as a win-win because a lot of people had the chance to eat
reasonably priced fish that was swimming less than 24 hours earlier.
In Florida you do need a "salt water products" license to do that but
it is only money.


Considering that the poster is "larry," i would go with the oink, oink,
oink theory.

Like I said, run with that.

BTW - this was an annual charter trip to the Tortugas. My boat isn't
designed for that type of fishing.

All decisions are the result of binary thinking,
which is why conservatives can see in black and white.

Damn...I thought maybe you had that stroke. Wasn't it scheduled?

No, herring, I am not jealous of pigs. Unless you are a subsistence
fisherman, taking 30+ fish home is...piggery. Taking home one larger
fish or a few small ones, that's sport fishing, for those who keep their
catch.

Johnny has no idea what true sport means.
