I was just wondering if you guys, or how many of you, eat the Marlin and Swordies you catch.. I know there's a big push for catch and release and tagging fish but I'm seeing a lot of pics of dead sailfish on here.
I have yet to catch one and haven't been able to get that involved in trying to catch one...... yet... But I would hate to look like an ass at the dock when I finally get my first. It wouldn't kill me to release one if that's the best thing for future fishing but I will keep it and throw it on the grill if it's good eating and not going to hurt anybody's feelings.
Also, I was searching for the limits on this type of fish and all I found was the Federal Guide that says there's NO LIMIT on most of this type of fish. I found that extremely hard to believe. This guide had Alabama, Mississippi, Louisiana, Texas, and Florida listed but was the GOM Federal Guide.. Does this apply? I found it through the Alabama site.
