I don't agree with elliminating recreational fishing. I enjoy all types of hunting and fishing. Glad your not king although I do agree with the first part of your signature.

I havn't had the oppertunity to eat a parrotfish due to our regulations, but I here they are very good.

He is making assumptions that make me look bad.

Dude, get over it. Nobody's making you look bad but you. You sign up today and start out arguing and flaming. GREAT JOB!

Nobody has said anything bad about spearos.

OK.
Rant off.
Seen clowns shoot Parrotfish. WTF!

I can't for the life of me figure out why every spearfishermen seems to be considered a jerk or poacher. Spearfishing is the most selective and minimal by-catch method of taking fish and is much more difficult than hook and line fishing. I don't personally know any spearfisherman who targets illegal fish.

Though not legal here in FL parrotfish are legal to take in some areas.

The likelyhood of a shark or other predator taking an angelfish is far greater than a diver or fisherman, and I guess they don't die from old age or disease either.

Taking a very old post rather personal aren't you?

I don't see the post as attacking spearos at all. He was saying that he's sick of seeing "wannabes" who know nothing of the regulations or ethics of spearing, killing everything they see, just to kill something.

Whoa!
I did not see this post!

Tim,
I still remember a trip to Grand Cayman about 25 years ago when the guy working the boat said he was going out to spear some fish for us to eat. I told my wife I saw nothing to shoot as I could easily reach the bottom depths we were snorkeling.
He returned with a stringer of parrotfish and conch. Of course I saw the parrotfish but had no idea he was going to shoot them. I guess it was legal back then in Grand Cayman (we were snorkeling north side).
They actually tasted quite good and very white meat as was the conch.
The jewfish were fine back when legal to eat. Funny how things change with time.

In Hawaii parrotfish are a common speared fish. They have few fish like grouper and snapper there. In Japan they kill (net) and eat porpoise. But what wouldn't a Jap eat that comes from the sea?
