NO CATCH AND RELEASE ! ! !
BBC News - 'Monster' marlin landed by Norfolk landlord Kevin Gardner
What kind of twit does not release a fish like that?

Re: NO CATCH AND RELEASE ! ! !
It sounds very noble to release fish after catching them. We do not know if they survive this strenious fight. This size of fish might be close to its end of life - similar to a trophy buck and has spread his progeny far and wide. I agree that we should try and conserve animals of this size and age but sometimes it is not parctical once hooked. I think in this modern era people do try and conserve animals of this size.

Sadly, bilfish especially large ones that have put up a long fight, seldom recover or survive the fight.
But somebody should point out the chop that his next quary (a big great white shark) is illegal to hunt in most countries.

Re: NO CATCH AND RELEASE ! ! !
That would be this kind of twit. If i catch a fish like that there is no way i am releasing. That fish will keep me fed for years plus blue marlin tastes awesome.

Re: NO CATCH AND RELEASE ! ! !
Actually, I saw an ad once (some time ago, mind you) of okes who hunt trophy animals, including the Big 5, using tranquilizer darts. Hunt as normal (walk-and-stalk, etc.), shoot the animal, wait for it to go down, take pics and then it's treated by a vet until sharp again. Shoot and release, I guess?
