Man, that is cool. Beautiful and thanks for sharing! Did you go diving or were those taken on a stick?

That's fake! The tackle lacks glitter, fancy colors, it's not TT trendish at all.
I wasn't there to fish. I was there on vacation, so the gear wasn't mine. It was provided by the guide and let me tell you, that reel was really messed up. It wouldn't turn half the time. Almost had to hand line that fish in.

Had a similar experience in Panama, hooked a fish with two huge fangs and the fish ran while the drag was "all stop".
The line made a really loud POOW!
My heart sank. its still there..

Yes Sir!
Part of me is still sad to this day.

Ugh, and now I join in your sadness
... those fish remind me of a salmon with teeth!

Now that’ll teach me to be a wiseguy! I thought dugong and manatee were synonymous. I just checked and they are NOT synonymous.
