This format of shark tournament was done not to be politically correct,
but
because it is the right thing to do.
These events provide data for Shark research,
The unfortunate part is not all
data can be gotten from live Sharks.
The truth is necessary data sometimes has to be taken, Our tournament while not,
politically correct is as close to no waste as possible and provides data
for researchers which can not be had any other way.
Life is no friggin tea party,
Stop
the long line, commercial fishing and Save our sharks.
One, long-line, boat
kills more sharks in one night, than five years
of this Tournament.
because of the low, "$" dollar value of shark meat
they are discard "Dumped
over dead and wasted,
It is not wrong to kill
it is wrong to waste.
Before all these do
gooders and eco nuts, got on the band wagon, and thump their
drums so loud, 25 years ago
Fishin Franks was already doing the right thing.
