On the subject of killing fish...

The whole point of originally having the tournament at this time of year was because the fishing is usually difficult.

One of my former students was the leader at the end of yesterday. Let's see if he holds onto the "title" today. His fish wasn't all that big, then again, there may not be many big sailfish left in our waters thanks to the illegal fishermen and all the restaurants in the region that buy their illegal catch.

BTW, besides shrimp being out of season, there is also currently a ban on bivalve shellfish (oysters, clams, etc) due to red tide toxins present in our coastal waters.
