"We didn't want to come in right away, so we just put it in a bag in a bucket. It'd been out there awhile. What's a couple of hours?" said Trabulsy"

LOL! Oh man. That is bizzaar! Not sure I could have fished on knowing that head was onboard.

“ We didn't want to come in right away, so we just put it in a bag in a bucket. It'd been out there awhile. What's a couple of hours? ”

"We were 22 miles out, so we decided we could either run in and ruin a perfectly good day or we could fish our way in,"

Now THAT'S some hard core fishermen, my friend!

"The men used a gaff to fish the head out of the water and placed it in a garbage bag. Then they kept right on fishing. "

True fishermen. I would have done the same....

[Typelouder]

Thats dedication for you.

Guess the authorities are lucky they didn't cut it up for bait.

"We were 22 miles out, so we decided we could either run in and ruin a perfectly good day or we could fish our way in,"

A man after my own heart! ;o)

Interesting article. We hardly ever get that kind of stuff around here.

"True fishermen. I would have done the same...."

Damn straight. That head couldn't get a whole lot deader, prolly didn't have an obnoxious odor (who's to say when fishin), and couldn't be used as bait... could it? Anyway...

I was just checking the scores on ESPN.com and saw the blurb for this article. I was amused.....and thought my fellow freepers might be as well.......

So ---- when the hell is Registered going to get his butt back here to do the visuals????

[dtel]

LMFAO
I don't know this would have been reported to authorities if the fish were biting good and me and my buddies were the ones fishing.
Eff it, chunk it back.
Chum, don't ya know.

My dentist won't eat shellfish again after being a forensic dentist for Flt. 800 remains. He cringes at the thought of eating crabs, lobster, flounder...

This stuff didn't happen too often when I was a kid. Ain't progress great. The FUTURE sure is nice. Pass the butter.

Yum! Make sure to take the "aids needles" out of the steamer clams first. Hold muh' beer.

Same here...so....did they catch anything good?

[shadowman99]

A ded head? Don't worri, it's not very series!

[Dakmar]

I'm glad you posted this. I hope I don't get flamed for pinging certain people here, I was just trying to remember all the Florida FReepers who might like this article.

chum

[Justa]

Noticed they continued fishing the area. Obviously the body was chum. Let 'em think about that while they're eating their fillets.

[michigander]

No doubt about it.
I might not have made it public knowledge afterward though.
