Why would anyone want to kill and keep a blue? It's bad enough the most of them that get brought to charter boat are killed and released. At least from I have personally witnessed.

I was surprised to hear that one could kill and retain a blue out of WP. You'd think all sharks would be protected.

I guess I just don't subscribe to the "gotta kill everything that swims" attitude that a lot of anglers seems to have.

Got in to great debate over on a social media site with some tool that had killed an adult male wolf eel on a WP charter. Why would anyone kill a wolf eel? Kill your target species and let go all the other fish that are caught here and there along the journey.

Yeah, I'm a fish hugger.

Pretty crappy deal, IMO.
