be willing to go out there please let me know. Id like to talk to them about it. Thanks |

correct answer.
It's sort of like off road racing, one is tearing up the land but it brings in $ into the local economies, it depends on ones point of view.

Very interesting question. I appreciate your broaching the subject. As a consumer I favor any use of the fishery that is sustainable. I suspect the
only way to reverse the diminishing trend is to totally ban ALL fishing for a few years. It's Pollyanna I realize but I could give up eating it for a
couple of years. Those years could be spent teaching people how to catch and release and otherwise use the resource more wisely. I know I will get a
lot of pushback, I have no statistics to back me up, but I think a major portion of the resource is wasted. Literally tons of marine protien goes out
of Cabo yearly. Only to sit in a freezer until it turns yellow and isn't even good for bait.

We stayed at Jardines not long ago. An employee was 'cleaning' out the freezers on the back patio. He had several kilo of fillets in a box. I asked
him if they were for the restaurant. No, I do this every week or two. It's just fish that is left by fishermen. Wow, I said.

I always try to make sure I have people I can deliver my fish to and fresh if I can hustle home quick enough.
I find it an absolute abomination to waste precious fish.
If I don't have people lined up I keep the 1st fish and try to release anything after that and as heathy is I can.
I love fish.

Just curious !! What does one do with a 350 lb fish here in Loreto? A fish like that will bring thousands of dollars on the Japanese market, but here
it a game fish, so illegal to sell and how much tuna can one eat ? There is enough to feed a village. And how much canned tuna can you use ? I like to
know the answer to those questions. I'm waiting !!
Other question.
How do you get a fish that size on board without a hoist ? Tow it in ??

Well personally I would be able to fillet a fish that size and get it to a fish processor in san diego within a day and a half of catching it. It
would be under ice in a freezer until the processor, and once at the processor they vacuum seal fillets and flash freeze them. They can then last for
well over a year in perfect condition.
And I would give away a lot to whomever would want some. I also usually only keep as much as my friends and I will eat, then it's catch and release.

Good job brother Luke. The fish god(s) will smile down on you!
