BEAST: Post the link to this tournament that had 400 White Marlin catches and 24 Blue Marlin catches in the North Atlantic!

Gimme a break! Do you just make this crap up, as you go?

This year's (2008) Open proved to be one of the most exciting and memorable in the tournament's 35 year history. With 365 whites (95.6% of which were released), 26 blues (23 of which were released) and more winners than ever before due to the new Daily Meat Fish category, the 35th Annual White Marlin Open will not soon be forgotten.

Marlin - 35th Annual White Marlin Open a success

Nice to see that I have waken the BEAST!

Now please provide us with the link to 40,000+ dead discards from our domestic PLL fleet. Please don't insult us by using a publication associated with recreational fishing or Ron Coddington, how about a NMFS link from actual log books.

Swordfish has about an 80% after core yield, if you like I can recalculate the figures for you, maybe Harry can do that for me.

Harry please post the figures, but use an average of 40,000 pounds per vessel core weight for Grand Banks voyages. The number of boats would be sketchy, let's say 30 boats from 1980 to 1995 and half that until 2006. Since 2006 the fishing has been good enough off Georges Bank that many of the boats do not make the trip far East anymore.

SORRY HARRY!!! Let's not forget each boat make 3 Banks trips per summer, plus 9 other months with about half that production.
