Moral of the story - double check the paperwork at sea and throw the guy without a license off the boat when nobody's looking.

The title of that article is BS!
The angler didn't loose anything. He may not have won it but since it wasn't his in the first place he couldn't loose what he never had before. Make sense?
Businesses report lost revenue all the time BUT It money that they "thought" hat they should have made not real money thus no real losses.
In my small business I made $xxx this year.(and am happy with that) BUT if I report that I lost $xxxxx
it simply is money that I suspect that I should have made. Thus not a loss.
This fisherman got a wonderful fish that is his gain.

I see the principal lesson though, better to do things according to the book, than to cut corners, and end up damaging your reputation and costing your client a truck load of loot!!!!
Africa is full of such stories as well.
My best always.

I have been using a "Personal Property" rider on my State Farm homeowner's policy to cover guns when I travel with them.
I have several firearms, but only one is worth over $20K (A Heym double rifle).
Very interested.
Would firearms be covered for damage, as well as, complete loss?
I'll can let the State Farm rider cover my watches...

trperk1, I bought the Kimber Caprivi 375 back in an earlier post. You attached a target with an impressive three rounds touching 100 yards. I took the 2x10 VX5 off and put a VX6 HD Gen 2 1x6x24 Duplex Firedot on the rifle. It's definitely a shooter curious what loads you used for the group. Loving this rifle so fun to shoot. Africa 2026 Mozambique. Buff and PG. Any info appreciated.
