A lot of these guys I see keeping over the limit are in boats and seem to know a bit about fishing. I think if you buy a boat and all your fishing stuff then you probably know that there are rules with fishing in the US. I can understand the people that look like they just got over here from Vietnam and are fishing under a bridge somewhere but I bet you a dollar to a donut that wherever they bought their fishing rod and tackle had a copy of the Alabama hunting and fishing regulations right beside the register. There is no excuse for breaking the law. I just think they don't give a shat and think they won't get caught. My question is, what are they doing with all these fish? I am not talking about keeping 2 or 3 over the limit. I am talking about having 5 or 6, 15 fish limits everyday of fish that weigh between 2 and 15 lbs a piece and averaging around 5 lbs. and yes this is everyday.

There was a very nice Vietnamese man begged me for a stingray big as a car hood that I caought at the pass in OB. I couldn't eat that thing if my life depended on it. Well, on second thought, I might if it meant my life. You know what I mean.

Have you ever eaten scallops?

That's an old wives tale. 1st, if you ever eaten stingray, it's upper and lower portions of it's body are seperated by a very thick membrane. When cooked, it has the same texture as a fileted fish. I kept a stingray one night and ate it. While it actually tastes fairly decent, there is very little meat that can be harvested from it.

I was just kidding. I've never tried to eat a stingray but I will tell you that its about the best shark bait you can get your hands on.
