"Passing the Torch" - Protect the Present and Ensure the Future!

I don't think I've seen a video that has hit me so close to home than this one.  Whether you decide to join BTT and provide a financial form of conservation or not I urge everyone to provide a physical form of conservation.  This can be done in SO many small and easy ways.  Things like not littering the land and water with cigarettes, plastic bags, cans, bottles, food wrappers, fishing lures, fishing lines, other trash, oil, other chemicals, etc.  Things like not keeping more fish than you need or will use in the near future.  Things like handling fish with care in order to minimize the amount of damage done to the fish before releasing them.  Things like not killing a fish in order to get your name in a "record book".  Things like picking up trash, etc. that others have thrown out.  And so many more!  Eventually it will become second nature and you'll be teaching others to follow.  It doesn't matter where in the world you are, what type of fish or game you target, or how strong you think your fishery is...  Please do your part to protect it.  Spend some time on my boat with me anywhere I go and you'll see the things I do as if there is no other option. It's just what I do. Great work, Bonefish & Tarpon Trust.
