Fishing from the surf in the gulf one morning, catching fish I had no idea what was and throwing them back. Dude comes running down saying I'll take those your catching Seemed I was in a school of Pompeno , whatever the heck that was but he said they were good eating
I gotta tell ya SR, I've heard of that fish, but have never eaten it. I mean, when I lived on the Gulf, we used to rent/lease, whatever term ya wanna use, a boat from Sabine Pass once a month. We'd go out 50 to a 100 miles and basically scuba around all the offshore wells. I mean the fish that congregate around the legs of the derricks are enormous. So we'd go down, shoot a few, and as you may or may not know, about 40 minutes is time up. Gotta come up. So when time up time came, then we'd throw the baited hooks over the side. I've got stories from some of the fish cooks that would blow everyone's minds here. I had this date one time that stood up in front of, I don't know, about 60 people and swore she could drink every damn one of them under the table. So she takes about a pint of some of good Tequila down, and I'll finish the story next post, something just came up.
