while on the subject, how many WM do you think are gaffed & boated for measurement during the OCWMO then tossed back overboard if they measure short? As a strong believer in not killing a billfish for any amount I have always believed that this occurs frequently under the current rules, sorry to say. I am not attempting to start any BS here nor accuse anyone in particuliar, but let's not kid ourselves that is a common occurance.
