That's why I laughed. A friend caught a bluefin off the surf in Dewey last fall and was scared to death to tell anyone!

I read a story in Western Outdoor News once where the author (Fred Hoctor - I believe) bet someone he could catch a striped marlin on a flip flop (beach shoe). He strung a line through it with a hook at the end and trolled it along the surface. He won his bet.
It's illegal to catch a bluefin if you're not on a boat. Apparently the guys who did that were given false info about the legality of the act. The meat has been confiscated and the guys in the vid are being prosecuted. That's coming first hand from the enviro police at Tuna Mania last month...or was it January?
Grouper love hard boiled eggs and cooked sausages.
This story made big headlines some yrs ago
Ft. Lauderdale, Fl.....Group of guys go out sailfishing...One of the guys was going through a divorce...They caught a sail and placed the divorcees wedding ring over the bill of the fish...fish was released.
Some yrs later...The same crew was out fishing in a tournament...Low and behold they catch a sail...As it get close to the boat....What do they see? Holly Chit...Its the sail with the wedding ring on the bill...They took the ring back, took a picture and told everyone their tale.
They passed a lie detector test on the Ron and Ron show...and was interviewed on the Today Show.
