    FloridaVideoFisherman Catches Twelve-Inch-Long Giant Tiger Shrimp

    On July 9, 2015, a commercial shrimp fisherman caught a twelve-inch-long, giant tiger shrimp (Penaeus
    monodon) on the St. Johns River in northeast Florida. Its no longer unusual for shrimpers to catch tiger

    inches long is rarity.
