I know this is technically sea fishing related but as I am a Coarse Angler then I thought it may be of interest to other coarse anglers.
i have just returned from a holiday in Tenerife where I did some rock fishing and also went out on a boat from Peurto Calero. When I got on the boat, they had caught a blue(?) shark the night before, I would estimate 70-80lb. This thing was on the deck of the boat. Its teeth, fin and tail had been removed. When we set off it was unceremoniosly turfed over the side.
Is this standard for sea anglers?
Why oh why did they have to kill it?
Did some brute take the teeth, fin and tail?
Also, the boat was ful of photos of dead marlin.
Unbelievable. No wonder we caught nothing. It was disgusting that a so-called angler would kill something for its teeth.
