Why is everyone saying catch and release? The Marlin would have been beat after that fight anyways, so whats the point. And what would you know, you haven't caught anything like that before so you don't what it feels like.
@kitehobbsy I doubt they have the funding to track all fish species and numbers somehow and a fish being under threat has rarely led to a total ban on fishing for it. to much politics for that. however it is right when they say that commercial fishing takes a lot more of these than rec fishing. it can hardly be expect to ask someone to throw back a fish of a life time when there is longliners dragging in hundreds of them for cash.
@stephenrward The Marine Parks Authority continuously undergo research and tracking of all fish species and numbers. They determine bag limits and legal sizes based on their findings (and other habits of the fish such as breeding) . If a fish was under threat of extinction (as you imply) then the MPA would ban catching of those fish. This is already the case with some fish. Bluefish used to be fishable and now they aren't. Groper are only able to be taken by line fishermen.
