Meaning, people were keeping everything that they caught so that the fish didn't grow, mature and reproduce.<br /><br />While I understand your sentiments, the laws and limits are there for a reason. If everything becomes hunted or fished out, then there is no more Southern Bellehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04847654788277662652noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8869473517329839057.post-40156265827751335382011-11-25T12:54:26.319-06:002011-11-25T12:54:26.319-06:00I don't know a tuna from a tarpin from a tapia...I don't know a tuna from a tarpin from a tapia.<br /><br />Also don't know anything about the maze of rules and regs and other BS that goes with catching fish.<br /><br />Slot limits, speckled trout fuzz spots, over/under on the mallards' beak teeth, etc etc.<br /><br />I know what a dove looks like, a quail, a pheasant, deer, elk and hogs--and I shoot 'em and eat 'em.<br /><An Ordinary Americanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17848364015817985349noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8869473517329839057.post-79170321237311667972011-11-24T21:13:20.566-06:002011-11-24T21:13:20.566-06:00Unless I'm mistaken, the 'sorry Charlie...Unless I'm mistaken, the 'sorry Charlie' tuna in the cans are yellowfin tuna which have different regulations.<br /><br />Bluefin are more rare of a fish.Southern Bellehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04847654788277662652noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8869473517329839057.post-91791470654053939732011-11-24T12:06:30.032-06:002011-11-24T12:06:30.032-06:00That guy purchased Bluefin permits, which tells me...That guy purchased Bluefin permits, which tells me he knew the laws concerned. If I keep more fish than the allowed limit, or fish that are smaller than the minimum size, the fish get confiscated and I get fined for each illegal fish. We abide by the rule of law or not.

Tuna and particularly bluefin are heavily regulated nationally and internationally. Generally speaking, recreational anglers need permits and must use rod and reel. This incident seems on its face to be a commercial bycatch, which is subject to a HYOOOOOGEShiroi Domanoreply@blogger.com
