Not giving the Yellowtail a rest

[dorado50]

I dedicate all my recent and future dead fish to "805gregg". If only he would bitch and complain to the mexican goverment (and Japaneese)as to what their sieners are doing to fish populations and the effect it has on US waters than just maybe the next generation may have an over abundance of fish! ps. do all your released fish live to see another day? I doubt it. Your a fish killer like the rest of us.lol

Nobody can accuse me of catching too much fish lately but if I do, who among you have a reasonable knowledge of the survivability after releasing a big predator?

The other side of this fish had some real ugly healing wounds that would of looked like certain death when fresh.


I've caught plenty of Yellowtail and Halibut with obvious scars from Sealions and gaffs that tore out (especially big Halibut with obvious tore out gaff scars that healed nicely). This doesn't mean to ever let a fish go if you gaffed him, never.
