I'm sure there's a valid point here. I guess if you're not from Canada you don't get it. I'm not, I don't.

Theoretical? You Suspect?? Now there's a real scientific answer. Go tell it to the theoretical one thousand tons of dead Bluefin rotting in your
local dumpster. This isn't some theoretical game of scholarly elitists. Go back to your satellite TV. If you don't have anything to say don't say
it here.

Who caught those blue fin? I wasn't some guy off a sport boat. Weebray you seem to have a agenda that all sport fisherman are bad or if I take 8, 10
fish per year I am exceeding YOUR limit.
The issue here is, the over fishing of bait fish,commercial harvesting of stocks of fish, gill nets and trawlers. Did I leave any out?
Sportsmen fought to stop gill nets in Calif. Sportsmen fought for slot limit's. Who started the Catch and Release of Billfish, Rosters. I can go on,
it was not Greenpeace, or pita. The folks that are trying to control the fishery's are sportsmen You can't see that.
For the last 10 years I get a 50% but they do give the bellies and cheeks.
Weebray you have a cause I understand that. I am done here. Please refer to the bottom of my page.

Congratulations, You just became my poster boy for exactly what I am talking about - out of control overfishermen. I printed your post to show to my
friends when making a point about the senseless slaughter of a precious resource. You prove my point. Let's look at some facts here. Frozen fish is
good for about 3-4 mo. before it starts to degrade. Especially tuna or salmon which are very fatty fish. Cod, catfish, triggerfish, etc. can be
successfully kept for up to 6mo. This assumes it is frozen almost immediately after being caught. Four hundred pounds of fish equals 800 or more
servings. We love fish and eat it 2 or 3 times a week but if I served my family 800 fish dinners in 3 or 4 months there would be munity here. The
only way to change this statistic is to serve fish that is over 4 months old. I owned a retail fish market for ten years and I know that frozen fish
over 4 months old is only fair to poor to eat. You can tell me all day how you vacuum pack and freeze it under the most rigorous of conditions
(which by the way, you don't), it's still bait after 4 months. You're not going to cop to it but I know you're throwing a bunch of fish away. Case
dismissed. |
You just proved you don't know what you are talking about. A piece of king salmon that was
properly handled, vacuum packed, and immediately frozen will still be perfectly edible after 6 months, striped marlin and wahoo keep the longest, they
will still be good after a year. I have been catching and preserving fish for 30 over years and I can't remember ever throwing out a piece of fish. I
can tell you that 100 lbs. of king salmon is nothing, after a few smoker loads and dinner parties, I'll be ready to load up on wahoo, marlin and
dorado, ask my neighbors who I also keep supplied with fish, if they think I keep an unreasonable amount. I observe all the sport fishing limits, but
apparently, you believe that's still excessive. You can sit on the dock and eat tofu, but I'm going to continue to catch and eat fish.

Update: Some bonehead fisherman from Colorado somehow mistakenly grabbed my 2 fish boxes and flew home with them. I'm currently trying to figure out a
way to get them back from the fishnapper. When I flew into Los Cabos yesterday I stopped and asked the jefa de aduana exactly what the reglas were for
bringing in fish, she told me that as long as it was not carnada, it's ok to bring. I also asked if there were any limits on the amount that one could
bring and she said no.

Yep. I'm still trying to figure out how someone can make a "mistake"
and end up with 4 boxes of fish instead of two, with 2 of them having someone else's name on them, especially when he had to retrieve them from the
freezer and haul them to the Alaska terminal in Sitka and check them as baggage.
