RE: Nonsense

Comment comment by PowerPointSamurai on 13 November 2006

Yes, it's not sport fishing, but commercial fishing, but nets do tend to let smaller ones get away and the bigger guys have a greater chance of getting snagged. Some fish, like some types of tuna, are harvested by line, and sport fishermen have noted a gradual decrease over the years in the size of trophy fish. Back in the 1950s, when US fishermen were catching tuna solely for cat food or to sell to the Japanese, tuna were enormous. Now the big ones are pretty much gone.
