Nico' Birthday - To the Keys with a Tarpon



 
 
To the Florida Keys with a Tarpon they go! Hilda's nephew is having a birthday. He and his family collectively love fishing these babies. 
 
She gave me a photograph of their favorite Tarpon and voila - presto interpretation from the Nancily camp!





 

Nico turned the big 16  recently and had a great weekend celebrating his birthday in Tavanier, Key Largo, Florida with family and friends.

As you can see above, there was nothing fishy about this catch of the day! This one was confectioned just for Nico; the icing on the cake after a hearty day of fishing. 

It truly was a delicious work of art and a giant Tarpon at that. So happy to know, the cake left everybody in a state of fishing awe.

Amazing how a fish could provoke so many Kodak snaps! It was a nautical paparazzi moment. A weekend to remember!

Thanks for the kudos, says Nancily!  

 
Happy 16th Birthday, Nico!


Mau mau mau!


 
 
Michael confused?

Tarpon: are large fish of the genus Megalops; one species is native to the Atlantic, and the other to the Indo-Pacific Oceans. They are the only members of the family Megalopidae
 
Tarpons grow to about 5–8 ft long and weigh 80–280 lbs. They have dorsal and anal soft rays and have bluish or greenish backs. Tarpons possess distinctive lateral lines and have shiny, silvery scales that cover most of their bodies, excluding the head. They have large eyes with adipose eyelids and broad mouths with prominent lower jaws that jut out farther than the rest of the face.[2][
