Uhhh... we don't eat them. They are a game fish. I'll tell you how revered they are. A friend of mine caught one about 175 lbs. Curoiously at the 7 Mile Bridge! The fish expended so much lactic acid during the fight he was going to be bait for a nearby 300 lb. bull shark. My friend pulled him into the boat put him on the bow and drove two miles away to safety. He then spent 20 mintues bringing the fish back to life by pulling him slowly throught the water lettingthe gills fillwith water with the boat in gear. Fish swam away in good shape. Thats tarpon fishing down where.
OK, maybe I’ve been livin’ in Alabama too long...
But what’s the point of catchin’ a critter if you ain’t gonna et it?
