Blue Marlin Tournament

[gcolton]

These guys bring in some mighty nice boats, expend a lot of fuel win some BIG prizes and have a great time. All this even though the Blue Marlin they catch are nowhere near the size of the Atantic or Pacific marlin.

BLUE WATER MARLIN TOURNAMENT

It would be interesting to know the cost of fuel per pound of fish caught. These big sport fishing boats must have some BIG fuel tanks.

I wonder if they hauled the marlin out to sea and dumped it when they were done oohing and ahhing about it, like they used to do in tournaments of the past.
With today's video cams and technology, there's no reason for a kill tournament.
A pound or two difference?....longest fish wins, or split the pot if it's that close. Marlin populations are in trouble.
