If you hook a good sized one (hundreds of pounds), he could spool you. Supposedly, they have a portion of flesh in their body that is kind of gooey, but if saved and dropped in boiling water is said to resemble lobster. But, the article I read a few years back (on bloodydecks?), kind of indicated you are wasting most of the fish to get this small good eating portion.
I think it should be unnecessary to kill such a magnificent fish, when there are so many good ones to be had. I view them like dolphins, whales and sea turtles as being some of our "eye candy" out there.
