Re: Marlin?
Are marlin numbers threatened?
If not, why not?
No pretty fish is going to get a pass if it is delicious, sustainable and responsible to eat it. A speared large marlin is without a doubt more responsible than eating that swordfish filet from a 75lb swordfish that wasn't anywhere near breeding weight you get in the local restaurant/ fish market.
Gut it in the water, cut into 1/4's and those guys with 5,000 yds of spectra strapped to their crotch won't know a thing.
There is a multi-million dollar wildlife photography business as well, should hunters stop chasing game because someone with a 4' telephoto lens might want to sell a picture of that critter?
