Unreal video…saw the trailer a year ago and get pumped up watching it everytime I see it. Looks like an incredible documentary and hopefully will come out soon. Should ask my buddies over at Costa and see if they know anything

Me too. I wish the authors of the vid had left some clue as to how those of us who care can get involved and make a difference. I emailed the Boca Grand Guide Assoc, but got not response. I also emailed the tournament folks and told them off pertty good… for all the use that will do.

Yeah, I like the piano holes… a little nod to Tom McGuane’s original tarpon story published in Sports Illustrated forever ago. The reference was edited from his anthology The Longest Silence, but I loved the way he compared a tarpon to a Steinway piano. Good stuff.

And, yes, I am going to pick from other stories.

Shocking! human greed decimating what nature gives. It’s simple get a ban on those jigs, ban gaffing, ban removal of the fish from the water, find a safer way of weighing/estimating (measure?), restrict the number of participants in the tournament.

Any angler who thinks they caught a fish when it was hooked outside the mouth has no morals and is cheating themselves, for glory in front of others.

I’ve been to Boca, fished off the beach with fly rod and it’s a wonderful place. I knew about the massive fish to be caught in the pass but I had no idea it was such a circus. The tournement organisers aught to be ashamed.

I sincerely hope common sense prevails and this madness gets stopped.

NICE! You going to pick some from the other stories too? I had fun doing that. Though it was tough deciding between the squiggly sparkler lines and the piano holes…

Not sure what that means…
