Oh, one thing my dad also told me. He is living down in Englewood and says that NONE of the commercial fishermen he knows will EVER go swimming in the Gulf of Mexico. They know what is in those waters.....  |
Hey Rich Z, Your dad lives in my neck of the woods.The Fishermen are smart folks not to swim in that area.Still today i have heard fishermen telling stories about reeling in their catch only to find the head is the only thing left.
