The last couple of years we have been reminded by the Mousehole Harbour Master that it is illegal to land them here in the UK....amazing when you see them hitting Garfish shoals.....the Gars go skittering over the surface then whoosh !
There have been several caught in recent years down the west country... I've seen Tuna leaping and chasing Garfish down south Cornwall the last two years... only a matter of time.
