Congratulations to Laura Angle of Mobile.

Laura sent in this photo of her husband, John. The fish on his arm is a tarpon.

Laura writes, "We were on our honeymoon in Islamorada and fed the 'Hungry Tarpon' at Robbie’s. This particular tarpon was about 8 feet long and as long as John held on to the bait fish, the tarpon would not let go of this arm and stayed out of the water. When John dropped the fish into his throat, the tarpon let go and swam away!

It was great fun!"

Laura wins a Whopper meal from Burger King!

Wait a minute. The Tarpon should get the BK Whopper Meal. Not John. It is clear to me that the Tarpon caught John. I am putting in a call right now to the T.A.T.E. Foundation.(Tarpons Against Tourist Exploitation)

You know that has got to feel WEIRD having your hand down a fish’s throat….

I saw that tarpon 9 years ago. I have wondered if it was still there. It is really neat how he will come up and stare at you like a hungry dog wanting a treat.
