I've caught several this year and have dispatched 2 of them. I don't mind them until they interfere with my fishing too much. The last one I killed cleaned of 4 of my lines within 30 mins. I'd reel him up and he'd let it go right when I could see him. He screwed up and finally swallowed a hook. All I had at the time was a 10mm semi-auto and the ringing in my ears the next several hours had me wishing I'd just let him keep eating.
