Re: Release board for sharks

That's a great idea. I hate to see sharks killed.

United Anglers was talking about trying to start a program where if you're going to release a fish, they'd have someone on the boat that could take a picture of it. The boats would have one of those small portable photo printers. At the end of the trip, the angler could buy a copy of the picture for $1. Money would go into the deckhand tip pool, thus reducing that temptation the deckhands have to try to find someone to take your fish when you're trying to release it. (The theory being part of why the deckhands want to keep the fish is so they make the extra $$'s filletting it...)
