 But when I travel overseas yes I love to wet a line BUT I make sure that I follow the rules of the country I am in.  You can't have double standards.

just remember that on a lot of them f.o,c, ships it is the only time they get fresh food.the crew go fishing in every port around the world and i dont think they would do much damage to the fish stocks.
