Dam what a fish... Can you eat them ?

That looks to be 10+ at least... 5hrug
Give a man a fish, and he can eat for a day. But teach a man how to fish, and he'll be dead of mercury poisoning inside of three years.

My dad used to live in Fla and we used to catch those off his dock in the backyard. They are very good eating.
