February rig diving in the 90’s was great for Lemonfish.

I would shite a brick if I saw a shark that big.

That’s pretty cool I had no idea sharks travelled that far. That thing was off the coast of Nova Scotia in October. Now it’s in the Gulf. Also interesting they stay near the coast.

That shows that she swam to Bama, didn't see her brother, and just continued west.

It’s really not uncommon for them to be in the gulf.
