Tampa Bay

Well, some facts about Tampa Bay turned up some interesting things.

Tampa bay averages 12 feet deep. Ranges from 7 - 38 feet deep.

It's 400 square miles, meaning it's basically 20 miles x 20 miles big.

Now, I can't be sure if the beach I was on was on Tampa bay, though. It may have been up to 100 miles either side of Tampa Bay.

However, if I was on a beach that bounded Tampa bay, since it's a bay, you'd think it would be very difficult for deep water fish to wash up on the beach.

However, Monk Fish are far too long and thin to be what I saw. What I saw was laying on its side, and from the shape of a Monk fish, it would be hard to imagine it would wash up on its side.

Also, the mouth is just not trap-door enough, nor big enough. Interesting discordant facts.

Mysteries, mysteries, all the time.
