Did theykill a short fish? I understand the fish was short, but did they bring it to the dock or release it?

Theykilled it. I worked the dock also and saw it measured twice at 100". Legal fish, just not a tournament qualifyingfish.

yep.... i believe they need to be 102" from the lower jaw to the fork for it to be TOURNAMENT ELIGABLE .... it only needs to be 99" to be legal....

Which Boat had the marlin upside down with its guts hanging out?

Midnight Run · 07-06-2008, 01:22 PM

that was game on

I've got no problem killing them occasionally, but I think you ought to measure first if for no other reason than killing a short fish gives more ammunition to those who would eliminate fishing, tournaments and especially killing them.
