In the Everglades National Park.
Could this be? I'm not good with fish. I'm currently transferring over images from my Facebook and based on the date I uploaded this, the location should be accurate. If the fish is obviously IDed wrong, it's possible I got the location incorrect. Unfortunately, I did a lot of traveling during the time. Miami is my #1 guess though so fingers crossed.
Found in some sargassum about to wash to shore
