Ivan caught this Lionfish with a hook in a long monofilament leader with cut bait. They were fishing on the 'Eight Mile Reef' off Stuart, where the water drops quickly from 108 to 150 feet.

In July of 1715, a fleet of 11 spanish ships departed from Havana, Cuba. A hurricane struck on July 31, and all the ships sank. Fast forward 300 years, and 48 gold coins from the fleet have been discovered off the Florida coast. Six of the 11 ships have been discovered.

 

Each coin has an estimated worth of $4,000 to $5,000. The oldest one dates back to 1697, and the newest one 1714. The coins will be sold to collectors but Florida is entitled to 20 percent of the haul.
