Capt. Ron/Tossing back gaffed fish!!!!!!!!

[Harpoon]

Whats worse... a bluefish sitting in the sun all day that someone will "forget" to take home or a dead blue fish that was put back into the circle of life?

I do wish more PB's would use nets to bring in the blues...yes it does suck to get them out of the net but they will live and the fare wont get their finger bit off or hit the guy next to them with a flying fish/hook. Since I don't eat blues I always find guys to take my fish prior to leaving the dock...or if someone is having a tough day on the rail they get my share.

Even had a mate on the CR last year show me how to pick up an albie by the tail using the gaffe and not puncture the skin. Albies taste like kaka and shouldn't be kept.
