Thresher Conservation Debate - Kayak Fishing Adventures on Big Water’s Edge

Regarding Marlin, I'm not sure. I don't target any fish for "catch and release", that goes against my morals, I only fish for meat.

If the DFG determined that the Thresher fishery would be sustainable if we release everything less than 28" I would be happy with that. Same with Marlin. My point is, let's figure out the right regulations and then manage the resource accordingly. I'm going to lobby for a sustainable harvest, not protecting "trophy" size fish.

Jim, we've got to have a beer some time. We may not always agree but I respect your experience and passion for the subject.
