Yep, it's difficult for some to face reality:

Now, if we were really to talk reality, we'd have to compare the various
marlin species. East Coasters don't have the challenge of abundant
blacks and striped marlin...and the few blues they still have are much
smaller. What they do have is a few teeny anemic white marlin. Heck, a
big bull Pacific dorado is a *much* better catch. As stated,
unfortunately, their future is croakers 'n grunts.
