I've eaten it in Japan, was quite delicious. If anything were to be poisoness, it would be the guts, which you aren't planning on eating anyway. This fact is disputed though, some say yes and others say not.

no pics . i hooked one at county on a jig with double squid . my first thought , "here it is , my biggest wsb of the season " .5- 8 minutes in , i had my doubts . it was a clean hook with treble , right in lips or mouth . the first initial run was kinda like a wsb , but halfway through the fight, it was like being hooked into a trash can . greg said he has hooked more than one out there . beautiful fish , better left out at sea .

.released unharmed . more importantly , not having rolled over in the process .
