Someone desperate enough might...... :twisted: :twisted: I think if it was good, there will be less of them.

These guys are too gentle unless you run them over. Then it will do some damage to your motor.

Generally this species is not used as food fish; some people consider it as a delicacy (Ref. 30573). The fish can be utilized fresh and can be broiled (Ref. 9988). Some parts of the fish are used in Chinese medicine (Ref. 12166). Molas may contain the same toxin as puffers and porcupine fish (Ref. 13513).

Yeah, I should have added that to my post...but this is a good enough reason I think...

and on another message board that won't be named, but it rhymes with bloody hecks, there's a post today about a dude hitting one in his boat this weekend, then getting a flat tire on his way home.
