Thanksgiving Tiger

My son Jamie caught this one on the 80w at about 4:oo thanksgiving morning. I roaped it, removed the hooks and let it go. Got in a hurry and didnt tag it though. She ate a head half of a 15lb king after mauling the rest of the baits several times through the night. It ate a 50 ld cow ray cut in half all the way down to a couple inches from the hook all the way around the hook. it was like a hand sized chunck. She was presistant. Joey droped his phone over while pulling her up. We was wondering what that glow was, HAHA.

That old big fat fish Joey caught was almost black with not many stripes. She was all scared up and had a whole school of remoras on her along with a couple cobia. the tigers are one of the prettiest fish in the sea.
