its not bad tasting & I liked it blackened, but quit eating it because of the high mercury that I read about -- oddly it said the same about tuna

Read that as well. Food chain absorptions as well as their own. Seemed to be the theme for all large & edible predator fish.

Yep - environmental pollutants become more concentrated as you move up the food chain, until the apex predators (including humans) wind up with the worst levels.

The one my buddy is holding was the biggest of the day. Kinda bummed we didn't get more meat, but we did catch a ton of fish. We slap ran out of bait, and he said he rarely has done that. I will add this, and I quote, "I've actually got a couple of guys who knows how to fish this time, that's different, but nice". So boom! Take that!🤣🤣

It got so foggy at one point, you could barely see. I started getting worried 🤣

I will say this, I had a blast. I love fishing, absolutely love catching redfish, but I've done it before. I've been on the big water, been inshore there on my friends boat who lives there, and I've caught a bunch of saltwater fish over the years. That said, I still get all giddy catching anything, especially reds. My best friend has never been on a boat on any saltwater, and he's never caught a single saltwater fish. I legit was praying that they would, as much as I wanted to, I wanted him to more, and his little boy. I wanted him to experience it, and love it like I knew he would. We've been to the beach together, fished from the pier and shore, and he's only saw me catch something. It absolutely made it worth everything to watch them two, how much they enjoyed it.

I know that amberjacks have worms, but yesterday was the first time I've heard of someone getting worms from eating shark. I have known people to get sick if the urea in the shark's meat isn't neutralized or drawn out, but that's an ammonia thing.

Also, shark species can be difficult to determine.

That was what the guy told me, about the worms. I don't have much experience with sharks, especially eating them, to know if that's true. I have caught a bunch of black tip, and some like last night in the picture. I didn't even know I was catching black tip when I did until an older guy told us what they were a few years ago. It was just a "shark" to me. I do know the guy I mentioned went to Florida, came home sick, and was in the hospital a few days. That's what he said happened.
