Interesting shots. A trip to the Florida Keys looks enjoyable.

Those are pretty good-sized tarpon. I don't think I'd put my hand in its mouth

(for those reading along, tarpon are game fish, they do get quite a bit larger than these)

Wow! I would have a very very difficult time feeding that tarpon by hand!
Would want to have a hook in it!
Angky.

This type of fish has very small teeth that is more like sandpaper according to information I have read.

Thanks for viewing, Robbie’s is located in Islamorada Florida and the Florida Keys are really great to visit.
