Our trip down to Key West took 11 hours in total. We stopped a few times to see the sights along the way. One of those was Robbies, where you can feed the Tarpon right from their dock. It was amazing, there were hundreds of HUGE tarpon. Travis told me that you just hold a fish out over the water and the tarpon will jump up to eat it, swallowing half your arm in the process. He said “don’t worry, they don’t have teeth”. Well, I guess I got the one freak Tarpon that does have teeth, because he totally ripped my hand up… I was bleeding all over the place, this picture is after I was cleaned up. We have video which you will see in a future episode of RockStartup where you will hear me scream like a little girl.
