    Change the ! to a ? and end of story.
    A man ceases to be a beginner in any given science and becomes a master in that science when he has learned that he is going to be a beginner all his life.

    To me its a factual statement. The tarpon was linked to the PTTS. It was also gutted. Just like the first tarpon.

    It was linked to the PTTS for sure. However, I'm not sure I would say the second fish was "gutted".

    Ok. It was stabbed in the belly. The defination of gutting is to remove the intestines.

    Have you any idea why a raven is like a writing desk?

    Capt Hughes made no accusation his title clearly says "a tarpon linked to the PTTS" that's not an accusation that's a fact. It also says that it is a Save The Tarpon report, not his.

    Andy, It's not a fact because the tarpon was NOT gutted, and not because of the link to the PTTS.

    I don't think anyone has disputed the fish was linked to the PTTS. However, many have questioned the veracity of calling this tarpon gutted:



    Take care...Mike

    Your colleague and fellow ex- reality TV show contestant redefined gutting to not mean gutting, but a "stab" wound (an incision ) and then abandoned the term in favor of a stab wound.
