trawling...not trolling
trolling would have been legal.
Yes, trolling would have been legal, catching it while trawling makes it illegal.
In this case the Captain thought he was legal because he had Blue Tuna tags. But the tags didn't mean a thing cause he caught it in his trawl net.
Boy, knowing how much this thing would sell far, I don't know if I would have been so up front about my catch.
