    NH fisherman reels in 1,116lb BFT

    Story sounds a little fishy to me…… 10 minutes? “The fish ran fast and took about 800 yards of line” If there was no fish on the line you couldn’t reel in 800 yards of line in 10 minutes

    Fluke Season 2026 Analysis

    Jeeez, talk about someone having a 1/2 empty glass………. Happy to report mine’s 1/2 full. It seems to me a simple solution to the “hiding fish” issue is to have observers on ALL boats, not just some. NOAA has had many more success's that failures. It’s not a 100% understood fishery but they...

    Fluke Season 2026 Analysis

    What you see in your coolers is antidotal information, and not science. Some may recall that the Spiny Dogfish was listed as overfished in the 1990’s. There were many many fishermen that said its bullchit there are millions of them around. I remember shark fishing in the Fall when the water...

    Fluke Season 2026 Analysis

    I do not have any knowledge as to the effect of the deeper water winter trawl that takes place. I have to ASS-ume that, right or wrong, the science indicates that given the allotment the commercial fishermen have been given the fishery would remain healthy and not categorized as “overfished”...

    Yes, this rock will continue revolving around the sun. Without regulations many species would most likely be extinct, and many near extinction. Not saying the regulations are correct but this is an evolving science. At the end of the day the science is really all we have to work with.

    Fluke Season 2026 Analysis

    As in most “hunting” of other species there are limits, quotas, etc. Nothing unusual about that. What becomes and how the Nation’s natural resources are used is concern for all Americans. BFT doesn’t freeze very well for any length of time. One should be enough to feed any family. But if...

    NH fisherman reels in 1,116lb BFT

    It’s quite possible it won’t qualify as New Hampshire requires the fish to be captured with the States waters. It does not however adhere to I.G.F.A. Regulations.

    Fluke Season 2026 Analysis

    Incorrect, there is a recreational catch limit for giant BFT known as a “Trophy Fish” What the heck are you going to do with a large giant BFT? You haven’t answered the question. How much of an economic impact does the commercial Fluke fishery contribute to the economy? Make sure you...

    Allocation…………. It is estimated that there are fewer then 5 million recreational anglers in the 11 Staes from Maine to North Carolina under NOAA’s allocation plan. 60% going to commercial interests, and 40% going to recreational. The population of the United States is approximately 340...

    Yes, they do, but to reach their quota only fishing the inshore waters is that some something you would prefer? No need to answer it’s rhetorical.
