Why can we not keep the fish?

The following question was answered by Leslie.

Question:

We are coming to Maui and want to do some sport fishing. I keep reading that we are not allowed to keep our catch. What in the world is that about? If we pay for the boat and catch a fish shouldn't we be allowed to keep it Doesn't seem fair so please explain.

Answer:

On Maui, most boats will be happy to filet some fish for you. Especialy the good eating fish like Mahi Mahi, Ahi and Ono. There are still a few boats left in the state that still keep all the fish, so its best to ask that question before you book a particular boat. We do have some boats that can even arrange for your trophy catch to be mounted!
