What a great picture with her headband matching the fish! This is an awesome size sheepshead as most sheepshead are commonly caught close to 13 inches locally. They are known for their sheep-like teeth. Can be confused with a similar species, the Black Drum.

This gold colored redfish with blue tinge tail is beautiful. The blue tinge on the tail is caused by foods they eat & more predominant in the winter. Many consider redfish the ultimate inshore gamefish here in Florida! They do not disappoint & always will put up a good fight many times harder & longer than most inshore fish!

Pray for Jamaica. Hurricane will likely be making landfall as a Category 4 or 5, which would be the strongest ever recorded for the island. Catastrophic impacts from wind, surge and rainfall are expected along with widespread power outages. Wishing safety and strength for everyone on the island ahead. 🇯🇲

I’ve only seen one whale shark years ago that went under the dock I was fishing on early one morning! These sharks are the largest known species living in our oceans all across the globe.
Because they're a threatened or endangered species, spotting them is rare.

It is not worth the risk , if you hear thunder go indoors!

This was taken today in Siesta Key, Florida. People playing volleyball during a storm with lightning nearby.

Also today, just up the coast, 4 people were under a cabana on Holmes Beach when it was struck by lightning. One person was transported to the hospital. This past Saturday, lightning struck a Tiki Hut on Marco Island with 4 women underneath. 3 were transported to the hospital. On Friday, 3 people were struck by lightning in New Smyrna Beach. One of those, a 29-year-old man from Colorado on his honeymoon, was killed.

All of these incidents have happened in just the past 4 days. Remember, "when thunder roars, go indoors." If you hear thunder, you are close enough to potentially get struck. Summer just started, we have many weeks and months ahead of Florida lightning. Please, please be safe everyone.
