Beautiful fish !! Thanks for the Catch and Release, better than seeing them piled up on the deck of some boat. I have new found love for these fish since I see how far they travel each year. Great report !

[stevejordan]

they're an epic species of fish

[stevejordan]

andy check out this chart, its real interesting thinking about how old the fish are

[AndyS]

Interesting stuff. I'll maybe take a few in the fall and that's about it. Love reading "slaughter" on the saltwater section

i dont see why they cant just net them instead of giving them the gaff, im sure theres people on the party boats that would throw some back
