Ate sea bass in Ecuador, but never caught one. Live bait? Dead bait? Artificial?

I caught these on half a gulp shrimp
A gulp shrimp is a heavily scented plastic bait .

Nice fish !
We used to go down to Manasota Key every year and fish the intercostal for Snook.
They would be stacked up in a place called Stump pass, a very fun fish to catch.

^ Just for the record, that is not me in the photo. I am 15' 9". And I don't know who the guy on the right is, either.

Forgot to mention, click the pic for an article about it. It mentions that the heaviest gator ever caught was in Alachua County, in Orange Lake.

What caliber firearm was used to dispatch that monster? The entry hole looks like maybe a .50 cal...

Edit: Looked over the article behind the pic. It was killed with a 7mm.

According to the article all it took was one well-placed shot from a 7mm STW rifle.

I thought eagles were solitary birds. Never heard of them gathering in big flocks like this before.



They could be trying to tell us something. Maybe this post belongs in the PF??

In June of 2019 my job sent me to Kodiak, AK for 7 weeks. While there I saw many Bald Eagles. One morning I stopped at the Pagashak river where it dumps into the Pacific. There were about 18 eagles, both adults and some juveniles, hanging around looking for Salmon swimming up the river. I saw one adult eagle swoop down and catch a Salmon and take off. When it did that every one of the other eagles took chase to try and steal the catch.

Worked at the Phosphate mines in White Springs and saw Eagles chase Ospreys that had caught fish out of one of the many lakes there. Sometimes the Osprey would give up and drop the fish .
We had many Eagles there but never got to see what you did.
