really liked to compete at these international tuna tournaments.
They were like a big deal, like Wedgeport in Canada and stuff like that.
There was a really historical bluefin tuna fishery in Cat Cay when those fish were coming back and forth from spawning in the Gulf of Mexico.
And they saw these numbers going down, the size of these fish going down.
So, you know, that was an obvious thing that said, hey, we should be doing something for this.
Yeah.
Yeah.
Along with some other groups, but I mean, you know, we're probably one of the first recreational groups, certainly international groups to kind of take that stance with things, you know, and we've done it from that time on, on a variety of different species, you know, we lean really heavily into billfish.
We've done a lot of work to conserve
Billfish, we passed two laws in the United States that prohibit the importation and sale of marlin, sailfish, and spearfish.
Before that, I bet you didn't know this, we were the world's biggest importer of those.
No.
Can you believe?
For what, taxidermy?
No, no, for food.
So we had a board member and we were having a lunch at headquarters one day.
It was a social thing.
And he sat down and he says, do you know who's importing the most, exporting the most, killing the most billfish?
I said, I really don't, but.
If we had some money, I know the guy that commissioned a study.
