I took this out since it doesn't really reference the subject of the article.
'381 world records have fallen to Fin-Nor reels, including Glassell's 1560-pound black marlin caught in 1953 while filming The Old Man and the Sea (the record still stands).'

Hemingway quote
Since there seem to be a few misconceptions about WP:BRD here, I'd better get this started before Lord Such&Such edit-wars themselves into trouble.
The editor wishes to include a lengthy blockquote from Hemingway in the article, which makes it look like this. That's an unacceptable take-over of a short article by a peripherally relevant, large quote. At the risk of inciting further high dudgeon by slandering Nobel laureates, literary quotes in species articles are frills - stuff that can be added after the basics are covered and a well-developed article exists that covers taxonomy, ecology, and human use. Having the article look like a Hemingway excerpt with the relevant material forming a light fringe around it is not an acceptable state.
