Vacation 2005 - 2006 - Day 5

Day 5 was the first full day in Key Largo. We drove down in the afternoon and evening of Day 4. We signed up to go deep-sea fishing, on one of the boats like the ones here.
We went down to Marathon and had some great seafood. It doesn't get much fresher than this! Chris found some sweet glasses in the parking lot that had been run over a couple times.
After lunch we decided to feed some fishes. Zack is holding a slimy bait fish to give to the huge Tarpon below. They come up and take the fish from your hand, which can be a little unnerving. The lattice is meant to keep the pelicans away and let you feed the fish, but they still stick their long beaks through it to try and take the fish from you.
There's Zack and I laying down to feed the Tarpon. You can see 6 or 7 of them in the murky water below. Unfortunately the tide was out at the time, making it a bit of a reach to give them the fishes.

That fish is huge!! That's cool that you caught it and then ate it. Swimming with the manatees sounds like that would be fun!! Looks like you guys had a good time. Loonking forward to next year? (Can I come? :)
