These proposed rules would create an exception allowing recreational anglers to land wahoo as fillets instead of as whole fish, provided the wahoo were recreationally harvested in The Bahamas and specific conditions are met. The conditions would require (1) skin to remain on the fillets; (2) anglers to comply with South Atlantic federal bag and possession limits; (3) the vessel to possess valid Bahamian fishing and cruising permits; and (4) each passenger to possess valid government passports with current Bahamian stamps and travel dates. For the purpose of the proposed rules, two fillets would count as one fish towards wahoo bag and possession limits. Vessels transporting filleted wahoo from The Bahamas would be required to maintain direct and continuous transit through state waters with all fishing gear stowed. Finally, the proposed rules would prohibit the sale and purchase of wahoo transported to Florida under this exception.
