clark 57 Posted May 31, 2014 Report Share Posted May 31, 2014 That is a awesome fish just sad to see a big breeding fish like that killed but I guess that's what commercial fishing is all about spinyeel 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Piranha 76 Posted May 31, 2014 Report Share Posted May 31, 2014 Surely it is better to kill a larger fish that has had many years to breed than a smaller fish that has had far more limited chance to breed. Very true, a lot of fisherman don't realise that a high percentage of fish that are close to the end of their life cycle have far less breeding capabilities because of their age, Grandma finds it difficult to concieve and it's no different for a lot of fish species. There have been big sways to managing fisheries by introducing slot sizes elsewhere around the world to ensure species can reproduce in their prime for a healthy gene pool and keep fisheries viable.
