I am in no way suggesting killing them hurts the fish stocks because I have no reason to believe killing a few has any impact but when you take a 100+ fish to the scales for pictures I would just like to think they put that meat to some useful purpose and not just kill it for the sake of killing it to take pictures.

I never thought about the marlin, is that a trash fish not worth eating as well just like tarpon?

I grew up with the rule that if you aint gonna eat it then don't kill it and release it in a way so you don't hurt it if you do catch it
Marlin is good to eat, you can find it in sushi restaurants at times
