shame they killed it. Of course, it could have died while fighting. Otherwise shame on him for keeping it.

I can't believe the # of Giant Marlin these guys keep. Look on there daily catch page and see what I mean. Do they even eat them?

There are no regulations in hawaii. No island conservation association. The locals keep the catch to feed the family/families as they are very tight knit. No meat goes to waste this I promise. They use he marlin to make jerky which is sold in stores and some of the restaurants use it in tacos or as a signature dish. I've eaten blue marlin striped marlin and spearfish while there and I can tell u it's all really good. The jerky is a little odd but still good. Te striped marlin lightly pan seared on a cracker with cream cheese and some type of oil vinegar drizzled over the top was delicious.

It used to be worse back in the day. U had buyers waiting at the docks to bid on fresh marlin. I know they have scaled it way back and now catch and release isn't the way but it's slowly catching on (for the charters anyhow). Telling a local to throw any of there catch back whether it be a marlin , mackerel, or parrot fish caught in a cast net will probably end with a black eye!
