The Billfish Foundation (TBF) is proud of its signature Tag & Release program now in its 20th year, and has added a new and striking “billfish release” certificate for anglers worldwide wanting to document that special fishing moment and most important, “Billfish Conversation.”
The certificate highlights the angler’s name, the date and number of billfish species (marlin, sailfish, swordfish) released, the location, captain and boat.
“It’s both an instant conversation and conservation piece,” said TBF President Ellen Peel.” It’s also a way of honoring the anglers, captains and mates, TBF’s volunteer stewards of the seas, for relaying their reports of the specific areas and conditions of the billfish they caught from the Atlantic, Pacific and Indian Oceans and then safely released. Some skippers and anglers are also equipped with our TBF tagging data kits.” More on this go to Catch and Release Certification at Costa Rica Blog
