<SPAN id=_ctl1_ctlTopic_ctlPanelBar_ctlTopicsRepeater__c tl7_lblFullMessage>This hacks me off. Next, I'll need a permit to catch a red snapper, or tarpon, or redfish. :
SC23, I checked, you do. It's called a Florida Fishing License Actually, if the Feds would use the money to support good fisheries management, I wouldn't mind a federal waters permit, but $28 for the boat for two seasons for just tuna, bills and sharks seems pretty reasonable.

So.... If I happen to be trolling for marlin with 130-pound tackle, and I happen to see someone dropping Volkswagons into the water on the horizon, and I steer toward said Volkswagons and happen to hook up with an 800 pound Volkswagon, and I fight that Volkswagon for 26 hours before my mate gaffs saidVolkswagon and pulls it on board, and that Volkswagon turns out not to be a sub-compact car at all, but a bluefin tuna, am I guilty of targeting Volkswagons, uhhh, bluefins?
