I quote Andy.....
Good post. This guy is a total jackass. Strange how some of you seem supportive and you would've done the same. There was no need to kill that fish. Last edited by Sword Donkey : 03-28-2007 at 02:24 PM. |

of course a spearfisher should not be called a conserving guy, that's like hunting with a rifle, there's no way for a save release of what ever you hunt.
but that's part of this sport. he did no illegal action killing that fish, so we should respect a "Fishing" guy's decision to keep a possible world record, it doesn't matter you know and don't like the person. i am myself a offshore fishermen, most time of the year for billfish and i release them, but be sure the day i have my first possible grander on the hook i will do anything to get him to the weight station, it would be the first grander for our whole area, and i would do it only with the first one. i don't like the sport of spearfishing because i think it is unneccessary to hunt fishes with a weapon which doesn't give the possibility to release him, but i respect the post of someone who loves that kind of legal sport and posts his report here on a swordfishing forum without calling him names like mentioned in some answers above. tight lines and handle spearfishers like we handle longliners here Mike |

So what is so great about killing somthing for the sake of killing? I thought that people where getting more enlightened than this fricken caveman. Maybe we put him on an open feild and shoot his ass just for the "sport" of it. He talks about telling his kids about senslessly killing this creature, i would be ashamed to tell my kids i did somthing so base.

I don't know what the poundage of the marlin the brazilian shot but since this guy hoped in a boat and took a ride his fish is half the size of a similar caught fish. Scroll to the last story IBSRC blue marlin record, spearfishing
