Don't put your hands in the mouths of hungry tarpon.

The story behind this one:

Me and my family from Texas went on a short road trip down to the Florida Keys. We stopped at Robbie's in Islamorada for a break and to see the famous wild tarpon that feed there. I was sick that day, and the sun was making me even more sick. I was trying to get photos anyhow, since I knew that we probably wouldn't make it there again anytime soon.

I went to take a photo of my brother dangling a fish over the dock. I got one, and then snapped another one approximately 1.2 seconds later, and I looked up to see this HUGE tarpon attached to his arm- watch, elbow, and all! It wouldn't let go, and finally, it did leaving my bleeding brother in shock and (shockingly) excitement. Now, all that's left is a scar- and a picture for evidence...

By the way, you can feed these wild tarpon for only about 3 dollars.
