For all you bass fishermen ... call em this from now on

Lol, we even have "Florida Man".

Good to see the FWC finally doing something that matters.
(Insert eye roll emoji here)

And we imported Texas lions. I want to reverse that trade… screw it keep the fish but come get your damn cats

Can't say I have much patience for political BS... In the meantime we're absolutely over-run with juvenile (less than fifty pounds) goliath grouper in the interior of the brackish and saltwater Everglades- and the FWC is doing nothing at all... Bad enough that over educated folks up north had to re-name them (and you can bet that not one of the folks involved had ever seen one in the wild -or ever fished for one...). If anyone had bothered to ask - old timers in the 'glades always called them mangrove grouper since that's where they live until they're big enough to move out offshore and begin to dominate every wreck possible....

All I'm hoping for (and proposed a few years back directly to the FWC in open session...) is a one fish per boat daily limit year 'round - with their biologists setting the slot size.... along with no commercial take or sale ever again - since that's what almost wiped them out all those years ago... A single ten pound fish would nicely feed a family of four with a great meal - a twenty pound fish the basis of a great fish fry (the way the fishing club I belonged to in the late seventies and early eighties did...). More importantly, we keep taking every other species and it's high time we at least tried to restore the balance in the places where those goliaths actually displace other species...

800 pounds. My goodness

I wonder how many pounds of gag grouper a monster like that eats every day
