Somewhat of a seguay but I noticed on Tuna Hunter's website that he runs charters for sharks and tuna and the giants stay with the boat. How does he do this with the same boat when federal regulations prohibit the commercial tuna guys from fishing for sharks or billfish using the same boat. License/permit is applied to the boat. If you want to fish for both you have to have 2 boats (believe it or not). I imagine he could do it with a rec. license and not sell the tuna but that sort of destorys the need for the boat to keep the fish and I'm sure he must sell a giant if he gets one.

Totally confused.
