Does anyone know what the health of the BF population is like in the Pacific?
With efficiency and size of Commercial purse seiners and gill netters, I'd be surprised if they don't become an endangered species like

in a few more years.
Anyone familiar with the show "Wicked Tuna" should be able to figure out that since the Atlantic and Mediterranean is being protected (e.g. Prince Edward is C&R ONLY!) The worlds fishing fleets had to go somewhere...any guesses where ???

The demand is outstripping the supply!!!
I haven't heard of any VW size BF on the outer banks or for years. Has anyone else?

Then on the other hand It could be because of the radiation levels of the fish from the Fukishima Nuclear spill and don't want any liability issues(?)
