From Hogs and Teeth to Burgers

We who are fortunate enough to live in this Tropical Paradise we call Florida love to fish and hunt. We are good, very good, at both. Take a look at the Florida Fisherman ll June 9 catch.
And, if that's not enough, look at those hogs:We hunt hogs that swim:And hogs that walk on all fours:Some have teeth:Catfish may not have teeth, but those spines can put a good ole southern 'hurtin' on you. Captain Dylan Hubbard shows his son, Jack, the proper way to handle those I am going to hurt you spines:The adult Barracuda has no spines:Who needs 'spines' when you have:An adult Barracuda has 100-140 small needle-like teeth, 60-80 bigger canine-like teeth, and 10-20 large fang-like teeth at the front of the jaws. Luckily the Barracuda does not use these teeth on humans. In the last 90 years there has been only 19 confirmed human Barracuda attacks; none have been serious. Fish are a different story.Talk about a good ole southern 'hurtin!'Time to drown our sorrows with a:Tammy loves to cook; we love to eat. What a combination:An early afternoon thunderstorm. We are cold, wet,  stuffed and fished-out tired. That dry-comfortable bunk is heaven on earth:After the storm it's back to work; then, after a hot shower and a fantastic meal, it's hit the bunks for the long ride home. Think the excitement is over after the trip; after the hunt?   Think again!  Remember this is Hog Country:We who are fortunate enough to live in this Tropical Paradise we call Florida love to fish and hunt.
