MINI SUCK SUCKS!

FORT LAUDERDALE - Before I get too crazy about lobster mini-season, let me first congratulate Ernge on this undersized yellowtail. Cause thats all we caught, other than a Lane Snapper that I neglected to photo. We went out for 100lb tarpon and ended up with this.

Mini season was a complete zero. Lucky us we were FWC's first bust, as the divers I was with left their dive-flag on the dock, so we had no excuse. One of the officers got in full Tarzan mode and stripped down and dove in with no light and just fins and a mask. I was 11:47 and he tried to ninja up on my boys and get em with bugs but they were clean, and ended up with a single $65.00 ticket.

I wont participate or observe another mini season opening night in my life. Diving is a fat peoples sport. Its the only break they can get from gravity. Plus there is lobster and melted butter involved. I admit it, I'm fat but I'm not that fat...yet. So until they invent a mask that you can smoke cigarettes under water with. I wont be diving.

MINI LOBSTER SEASON - LIVE BLOGGING

NOTE - This is why I dont dive, or participate in mini lobster season, and I consider "Diving" to be a fat person sport.
