Unfortunately Skeptic is correct,
Canadian scientists reported this week that 90% of the worlds large fish stocks have been depleted to dangerous levels. This includes sharks and tuna. Sad but true.
Same problems where occuring in the Tasman Sea between NZ and OZ to the 'orange roughy' (Mmmmm..... ) until they tightened up the regs on the fishing there and now there is a burgeoning stockpile for the future.
Have had a great friend fly out of Guam and he had some horror stories as well. Great life experience thou and I would do it for a tour for sure if the opportunity presents itself.
You will never get that kind of landing on boat experience anywhere else!
