and shared on this forum. I won't be able to attend. The story of the bluefin is one of the great mysteries of the ocean. Why are they here, where do they go? Are they in decline?? Catching a giant bluefin is an awesome angling experience that I have enjoyed in the past. There were only a handful taken off Hatteras this year. Ten years ago they were in giant schools and hundreds were hooked and released each day and the season went from December to March. I guess like other fish they are in a cycle of decline and abundance.
Each of us needs to protect our resources. Only take what you need and can consume. We as fishermen are the trustees of the resource. Care for it.

Barb Block is a hack scientist, piggy-backing on other ppl's ideas and work. Ask the Hatt boys she stiffed for charter fees how much they like her. There are far better in the field that she is. Best regards,

What's a hack scientist?---- Shit, I have piggy backed on other people's theories and work my entire professional carreer--- and feel I have made a contribution to my field by piggy backing and offering a tweak every now and then.
No offense, but science and personality are totally different---- take me--- I'm frigging brilliant--- but an asshole (or is it the other way around?, then again, there are those that feel-----)
Humble is the word I am thinking right nowBlaaaaa.....good one GW

I have read that this Doc is tagging big blue fin. Tracking their migration and trying to locate their breeding areas. The Gulf of Mexico and Mediterranean Sea are two places she has monitored. The tags are expensive and funding is needed. Also good fishermenOnly one has been caught this season on their boat
She should hire Second to None
Maybe some off the wall organizations have donated funds and research has been combined. Still I think this is good info for all. Washashore, what do you know that led you to this negative light on this Doc?
