Capt Tony Catches Sea Beast!

Picture
This is one of my earliest memories, and one of Daddy's most famous pictures.  The girl to the right is my Sister Coral - or Cor Cor as we all call her, there is Daddy of course and I think that I was about 4 years old.  This is a Tiger Shark that Daddy caught, which was about 2000 pounds.  It was customary, as soon as you got it to the dock, to cut open the belly, and what a surprise this time.  Instead of just the usual organs, and the occasional dinner from earlier that the fish had eaten...this Tiger Shark had 47 babies inside. My biggest memory though, was how shocked we were. Daddy and some other people actually tried to save some of the babies, but they weren't quite ready to swim on thier own. 

The picture was taken when the fishing docks were on the other side of Garrison Bight, right along North Roosevelt. The structure behind us was the Pinders little restaurant, where I would get Daddy his coffee (2 creams, 2 sugars)  and Lucky Strikes every day.  The headline of the Key West Citizen the next day said "Capt. Tony Catches Sea Beast".  Almost 50 years ago.

XO
Smiles,
Toni

Aw, this was a really nice post. In idea I would like to put in writing like this additionally? Taking time and actual effort to make a very good article? But what can I say? I procrastinate a lot and by no means seem to get something done.
