| Comments | Greater Amberjack had hook in mouth with line attached, line was caught on the tugboat wreck in the pilot house section and Amberjack was unable to escape. Was able to remove the entangled Amberjack and collect the fishing line, but was unable to remove the hook due to the fish swimming away quickly. Two fishing boats were right above the wreck during the dives. |
