I wonder if you threw it back minus the stakes would you get a fine.
If you can't land and keep a tuna from shore there is definitely something
wrong with that law, and why do only Boat guys get a chance to keep
them, are they special?

FWIW, the permit is issued to the vessel. So if I have one for my boat and I hook one while fishing with you on your boat, I can't keep it. OTOH, if you fish with me on my boat, you are covered even though I bought the license. At least it works both ways.
Even if you could buy a license to fish them from shore, how many surfcasters would pay $22 in case they hook an sbft? I'm guessing not many.
I'm kinda surprised that Joe has no problem with poaching. He uses the same rationalization that googans use to keep short bass. "hey, if I'm lucky enough ... I'm gonna keep it"  |
Best regards,
Roger

yes, as roger said, the permit is for your vessel only. not for the person. and, you are required to call in your catch as well within 24 hours. the feds do not screw around w/ tuna. also, you cannot even cast to tuna w/o the permit, never mind keep. tuna are one of the weathiest fish in our ocean and one with the most politics attached. ever wonder why there are many helicopters around occasionally when the tuna show up? or the coast guard and unmarked vessels are around looking for people illegally catching tuna?
on the subject of tunas from shore, how many anglers would be able to distinguish a bft from a yft or big eye? smaller species are very hard to tell apart from time to time.

If anyone gets a YFT or big-eye from shore then they must live with a 1000 horseshoes up their backside; I dont know of anyone who got YFT within 40 miles from the beahc and big-eyes from any closer than the edge or just up off the edge (close to 100 miles)

That's exactly my point! Illegal is illegal regardless if its selling bass or illegally catching and keeping a tuna. How can you rail against anone else breaking the law when you condone breaking it in "certain" situations? Is it O.K, to keep 8 inch scup if you're going to live line them for bass? How about 6 inch Tog? I could go on and one, but I think you guys got the point. |

As was said above, I think Joe's post was a bit of a joke.

MakoMike: You need to start fighting back whenever people complain about plovers and dogfish then. If you're so adamant about regulation then start backing them all.

I complain about the plover and dogfish regs. But just because I don't like them doesn't mean I go out and break them.
