Quote: OT said:It should be catch and release but it's catch and kill.I agree but when I caught a 225# Blue Marlin while fishing in Negril there was no doubt it was food to feed families and release was not an option. Back when Fireman was cooking at Our Pastime I took him a portion to cook for us and friends. Ended up it was the lady that owned Our Pastime's birthday and she and her friends and family also had marlin. That was just from a small amount I took since the fish was so large. Most likely the largest fish I will ever catch and yes it did some crazy stuff and when the fish was landed in the boat the hook basically fell out. Carlton kept saying over and over...."give him no rest". We both fought the fish to land it and I was spent. Calrton said, Are you okay? Do you want to keep fishing? I said, Yes and he said what do you want to catch this time and my reply was "something smaller"
