I got flamed rather vigourously in this thread. No, I’m not a member of PETA. I’ve been fishing the Florida Keys for 35 years now, I’ve caught and killed many a fish for food or for sale, when I fished commercially years ago. Your typical 800 pound Mako does not have 200 pounds of guts in it unless it’s pregnant. I happen to think it’s a shame to kill a fish that is ready to give birth or spawn. That’s my opinion. We don’t fish snapper and grouper during their 1 month spawning seasons to protect the resource.
You want to kill all the adults before they have a chance to reproduce, have at it.
I prefer not to.
Then I would say you are an expert.
