Trophy Fish?
 
While living in Galveston, I recall stumbling upon a website advertising guided trips to fish holding tanks placed offshore where potential trophy fish would be kept and fisherman could pay different rates (wasn't cheap) for different target species: Tuna/Marlin/Grouper etc. I can't remember the name of the site or what exactly it related to on the google search engine. If anyone has any idea what im talking about....feel free to help out.

I recall it being some sort of pen setup offshore. Not fish farms for food.

Here's the link. This is absolutely ridiculous - imagine it's just like the big game ranches in TX where someone will pay $15K for a 180 class deer and then brag that they went huntin...

Never happen on Sails, Marlin ect. Tuna yes. These fish need alot of room to survive. I hope I'm wrong - but not for a long time:work::shaking:
