people need to learn to catch and release, and not haul the poor fishy onto boat for snapshot and then throw thrashed fish back into sea to die.

Sometimes they're dead before getting to the boat, had one last year that sadly tried to spit out its intestines, point being theres not much you can
do sometimes "Smoked Marlin" is what it ended up.

That is a striped Marlin not a sailfish, and catch and release, as much as we wish it were common practice, is not a normal behavior for the mexican
fisherman who will sell that fish to a processor. It is very good eating although not nearly as good as a Blue or a Black. So where I have the
biggest problem is all of the do-gooders do not realize that this is Mexico, which is goverened by Mexicans, ruled by Mexicans, and with laws that are
established by Mexicans, and except for those areas that are affected by a high influence of American influence like Cabo and maybe Loreto, the
average fisherman sees this fish as pesos to feed the family. I am not justifying this position as I never allow a billfish to be landed or taken out
of the water in my boat, but I am the captain of my boat and little world of influence, but the ranters and ravers are just spewing hot air in the
wind when they start with this stuff about every fish that a Mexican fisherman hauls in to market.

well said Jim - you are right on target.
its mexico - not ours to control. those people need the income a fish can provide.
after all, it is in the good book:
take a mexican fishing and he'll help but drink all your beer...
teach a mexican to fish and he'll get a panga and take all your friends fishing at fee.....and still drink all your beer.

Yep, it's their country...........to continue to run the shrimp and dorado and shark and turtle and manta ray and sardine populations into oblivion,
while their own laws on their books are ignored.
Who are we to complain? Why, they OWN all these fish in their territorial waters, right? They have the legal right to remove every last specimen of
these species from their water, right? Actually, they do. Does that make it RIGHT??
If a billfish is taken and sold to a processor, then that is fishing commercially, isn't it? Are billfish allowed to be taken commercially by Mexican
regulations? I'm not sure, but I dont think so. I do know that fish taken by sportfishing are not legally sold.
We can continue to turn a blind eye to all this; the payoffs to officials who are supposed to enforce the existing laws, the taking of fish over
limits, the continued illegal longlining and netting by large vessels and pangueros and the selling of non-commercial species.
Will we also turn a blind eye when these fishermen have no means to support their families because they had the RIGHT to ignore basic rules of
conservation?
It's not so much about taking one marlin here or there, it's about ignoring the rules, one at a time.
Teach a man to kill everything he catches........ and he will fish until all the fish disappear. Then, he's out of work and can't afford beer.
Teach a man to fish with conservation in mind.............and his children's, children's children will be able to fish AND afford to drink beer.

when did this move to the political discussion area?
this is not about you or your political beliefs
the guy hooked bait on
he threw it in the water
he caught a BIG fish
it jumped on board...with coaxing
he took a picture
he released the fish
the fish lives 
look how close to shore they are
they are not 50 miles out
you really don’t get to choose what bites when you troll
obviously you guys don’t fish much…except for jim of course
if you do... where are your pictures…
david k will teach you how to post them
yellowtail is being caught here in Mulege on the surface near shore
not just 300 feet below…even though they are there too
we had fresh yellowtail for lunch monday...pretty good

sounds to me that it was released - no harm no foul.
and i do agree with you hook. the mexican guvmint does need to do a better job.
but look at our own effed up guvmint... they can't do anything right. but they can tax us to death and waste all our $$.
i am more worried about dollar conservation (protecting and preserving its intrinsic worth) than fisheries today.

Marlin is great smoked. I recall
having dinner at Rancho Buena Vista where they had
family type seating and buffet. A variety of food was served up including Marlin. One patron asked the waiter what was
the great tasting fish that was being served. the waiter replied marlin senor. The patron bust out laughing and said no really what kind of fish is
that? It was Marlin, but the patron would not believe it.
