More treasure cay

Yesterday I went fishing. Out into the ocean until the debth got to be about 150 feet and the we drifted and tried to keep our lines on the bottom. We caught a 12 lb grouper, two strawberry grouper and several no name small fish. Not exactly killing them. Oh yes. We also caught half of another strawberry grouper. A 6 foot baracuda got the other half. He beat out the other 3 sharks that positioned themselves under our boat waiting.
This was the first time I had even heard of a strawberry grouper. A very pretty fish about 3 lbs. Huge mouth and covered with red spots...thus the name.
Got bach to the docks and cleaned the fish tossing the remains into the water when 4 large tarpon (one estimated to be 90 lbs) came along to be fed. Some of the guys tried to hook the tarpon just to see them run and jump. There was no hope of actually catching them.
By the way, grouper is delicious.
