Craig: I think you validated my point, and I agree with you that commercial long line ships are a much greater threat to our fisheries that the sportsman.
I am certainly not anti-fishing nor against hunting. But, if the marlin population is declining and they're not especially good eating, catch and release is the responsible angler's responsibility. It was a beautiful fish and, as you said, the angler has no obligation to release it. It's just the right thing to do.
As always, that's just my opinion.
