I know that we are going to here it from a few folks that a fish is a fish and can be legally harvested but this still sucks. Someone took this picture off of Pinas Bay in Panama

Are they sailfish???
Its hard to see what kind of fish they are.
Sickening ain't it? I see at least one sail.... hard to tell.... it's sad.
I am against netting as it is an indiscriminate kill. Although I believe the fishermen in question here are probably targetting sails, rather than them being bycatch.
I have no problems with someone killing a fish, but you are right Bill, this does suck. I thought it was illegal in Panama.
