Fish Tales: Former President George H.W. Bush Catches a Mammoth in the Keys

Given that mammoth have been extinct for a few millennia, I was curious, so I dropped by for a quick look -- especially since the Florida Keys doesn't have a climate conducive to mammoth, either.

Here’s the ACTUAL story – with a picture.

Former President George H. W. Bush caught a mammoth tarpon Saturday while fishing off the Florida Keys near Islamorada, Fla., according to the Florida Keys News Agency.

Bush chose to release the giant with an estimated weight of around 135 pounds -- the largest tarpon the 84-year-old ex-president has ever caught, the agency reported.

I don’t know about you, but somehow the story doesn’t seem so interesting when you drop the word “tarpon” from the headline.
