There's a great little fish shack in Destin, Florida that serves the best amberjack sandwiches. If they didn't use it for food they were wasteful. Amberjack is WONDERFUL eating!!

West Indians have been eating fish that scares stateside folk for centuries. I just want to know if, true to his normal form, he hauled that bad boy in with a hand line like something out of "Old Man and the Sea". Not quite World Class Anglers style. Big Ups Calbo!!!!

He survived a lot only to be killed by a human. How sad. If they had cut the line, the hook would have rusted and he would have survived. I hope the fisherman posts here to let us know if the fish will or won't be wasted. That fish was old and was probably a grand daddy. He survived a lot only to be killed by a human. How sad.

I bet you are sore today - all the struggle to bring it in. The sad part is, you can't do anything with it except stuff it. Did it break any records on the island? What a fish!!!

In order to get the hook out? And maybe they weren't sure what they had till quite a ways along? I feel bad for the fish too, but if it was hooked they had to bring it in anyway, right?
