Photograph from Sports Illustrated of Jessica Gomes with a dead sailfish
Apparently some folks find it appalling that a hot topless woman would pose with a dead sailfish slung over her shoulders.

We see photos every day of fishermen posing with the fish they caught. Is it ok for them to pose with the fish because they caught them? How do we know that Jessica Gomes didn’t go on a fishing charter before the shoot? Madagascar I’m sure has a bountiful fishery.
I’d like to get everyone’s opinions on this. Please let me know what you think in the comments below. Positive or negative I think this is a good discussion to have.

Do folks in FL release sails? I know I see many photos of anglers in HI that keep billfish and eat them.
Seriously though, if it were a man (not in a bikini) wouldn't the picture caption be " Photograph from Sports Illustrated of James Gomes with a TROPHY sailfish?"
