Still Waters Posted November 26, 2013 #1 Share Posted November 26, 2013 A Florida fisherman who hooked an 800-pound deep sea beast in the waters off Miami Beach says the mysterious fish was like "a dinosaur." Captain Mark Quartiano, a charter boat operator who also goes by "Mark the Shark," is seen grinning next to his fearsome catch in an Instagram photo he posted over the weekend. http://abcnews.go.co...ff-miami-beach/ 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Piney Posted November 29, 2013 #8 Share Posted November 29, 2013 Can you eat them? That would be a big meal. They take a cookie cutter to the smaller ones to make the cheap scallops. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

moonshadow60 Posted November 30, 2013 #11 Share Posted November 30, 2013 To be that large, it has to be very old. They let it go. It was the right thing to do. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Artaxerxes Posted December 7, 2013 #12 Share Posted December 7, 2013 They weighed it which means they had to lift it up out of the water. Chances are it did a lot of internal damage and I'm betting that it will ultimately kill the animal. Predators can sense any sort of change from normal behavior which will make the skate a target.
