This X longliner has more recreational experience than you could ever dream to have. I'm only posting to let the newcomers know that 99% of this forum knows absolutely nothing about swordfish conservation and have had no hand in the recovery process. Thank NMFS and foreign imports for that.

Every one knows BBPro and I do not see eye to eye on a lot and he still is mad at me about a certain pic.But do not discount his knowledge or experience
Do not believe 3/4 of what you read about LLing from conservation groups on the net.Most of it is tree hugging propaganda
Managed and run properly LLing does have it's place in commercial fishing.It always amazes me how people find it easy to bash comm fisherman but not the real problem.Most of the decline in fish stocks around the world have a direct relation to pollution
But we still buy our stuff from companies that pollute
We build our houses on the water and cut down trees and pay the fine to cut down mangroves.The biggest source of run off in to lake O is big sugar and cattle.But I have never seen anyone bash them.No give me my candy and steak please
Look what is going on with China.We want every thing cheaper so we import it and now our pet food is poison not to mention toothpaste and about 100 other food items found to contain industrial chemical we have imported from China
The pollution is what is killing this world and oceans
We even import children from foreign countries now.There are thousands and thousands of children in need of a good home in this country.But people want babies only and go over seas for them not to mention cheaper.
So don't worry I still do not want LLers in the straights. But take a good hard look in the mirror not to mention your closets and drive ways and such.What kind of footprint are you leaving for your kids to follow.
