weird tautog behavior - a few monsters

put the boat in this morning in a light rain, water was dead calm. Had my kids with me. as I was putting along in the harbor, saw what looked to be a large ray surfacing and finning on the water right in the harbor. When we got close, we drifted up, I thought it might be a seal. I saw two of the largest tautog I have seen in my life, massive fish that where easily over 15lbs, maybe 20. Freikin monsters. Im not exaggerating. It looked like they where mouthing each other, not agressively, just mulling around on the surface. I figured it may be males competing or perhaps a couple breeding. I have no clue. I cant get over how huge these fish were. Anyone ever see this behavior? Not anywhere near rocks or deep water.

making s-b.com a kinder, gentler place for all
