He wants to be a commercial fisherman with the protection of being a recreational. I dont agree with it, shut him down.
2. Charter guys, well back at the dock at 9 am telling you to get lost aint gonna work anymore. If its a recreation, why arent we out until 4:00 pm? I know I caught my limit but.......I want to fish.
3.Tournaments, HA! None of the promoters of these events could give a shit about marlin, even congress is smart enough to figure this out. Its about selling boats....and fuel....and if your ego can be stroked, yea.......for a short guy, today your king. Nice fish. But congress is watching. And since its worth a million dollars, well we just have to regulate it.
4. So go to all you dumb meetings in washington. Im going fishing in the canal no matter what. I only want 2 fish. I may get caught taking them.....I dont care. I have a full arsenal of options that I cant wait to employ. You see, I dont want to be like marty......I aint looking to sell them and then act like Im just a regular guy. He is part of the problem. I dont want to sell yachts, acting like I care about the marlin......Um, guy harvey would you please cut that fish open? Its all research.
THANKS,
