Default Conservation?

I'm sure they belong to one of these: IGFA, TBF, CCA, RFA or the NCMC.

Where is Karl Wickstrom now? Bitching that consumers should not buy wild commercial product while his people are killing breeding cow marlin?

Bet it makes Marlin mag next month.

Hypocrites!

My point really isn't killing the fish, it's the fact that the A-holes behind the Tournament allow it while throwing stones at others.

Definately appears to be a double standard there doesn't it? IMHO, People should lead by example.
