Trophy Fish?

[Big Kahunaz]

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...

nah this is his Personal best....he couldn't snag the one in the pen, he tried it all, dead skrimps,croaka,etc. Just couldn't snag her...
So he'll just have to keep trying...

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
