Florida angler stunned after 'improbable' double snapper catch on one hook


Robert Bush Sr. told MyFWC Florida Fish and Wildlife that he was "stunned" after his recent catch of two gray mangrove snappers on the same hook.

The agency wrote on Facebook: "It was an improbable catch that left Robert Bush Sr. 'stunned' from his incredible luck. He let us know he used shrimp for bait and both fish were released."

While improbable, such luck is not unprecedented.

MyFWC asked followers to share similar “fish tales” and received several responses and a few images in the comments section as proof.
