You guys need to check this out. It is really impressive.This is a thread from the Fla Sportsman site.

Basically, what happened is this-
There is an especially loathsome creature living down in Miami going by the name of "The Shark". He is a charter guy who kills all he catches. He is touted as the most successful charter in Miami- which does not surprise me. He actually posts many pictures on his site of multiple sails strung up. He also cruised through the Miami Boat Show with a few sails strung up-for free advertising. I guess he was booed by the entire crowd.
Well, this guy was actually going to get some free pub from a local news station. They were going to air a segment with their cute little weather girl fishing with this clown. The Florida Sportsman Forum members in South Florida found out and got to work. Multiple e-mails and phone calls were put in. Guess what? The station actually pulled the segment. I, for one, am amazed. Way to go FS Forum.
Maybe we can ban together and get BW to revive the blue interior classics? Probably not, but this shows the power we all have as one voice. Hope you enjoy the link-it took place in one day, but it is a long thread.

I do not think that information, discussion, and interest in Classic and Post Classic Whalers, as expressed here on ContinuousWave, is missed by the Whaler factory people, or Dealership network, either! If you're designing, building and selling/servicing Boston Whalers, it's pretty hard to ignore this place.

i can`t beleive there are still some Dinosours like that moron still Fishing :( I am a big "Catch and Release" guy, and only keep a few once and awhile. I have learned if you keep them all, all that will be left is Catfish and Carp, so I do my part and feel good about it. I hope this guy goes out of business, but it doesn`t seam like it if he is doing so well in the business :( Jack.

I thought there would be more of a reaction to this. I find it disgusting that someone who makes their livelihood with fish would do this. Guess I should have named the post "Fish Killer on the Loose" or something more provacative.

WSVN got the message at the 11th hour-cool. What a great job. Mark the Shark is typical in that the good guys don't get a break and he almost got free advertising via WSVN. Mark it appears is a bad boy. Whats suprising Mark makes a living fishing and then kills everything he catches (billfish).
