FLORIDA KEYS, Fla. - Tampa Mayor Jane Castor went on vacation in the Florida Keys to catch Mahi Mahi, but instead, her family reeled in $1.1 million worth of cocaine.

At the end of July, Castor and her family were in a Marathon for her son’s birthday. While out on the boat, Castor’s younger brother saw what he thought was debris in the water.

Castor said they thought there might be smaller fish under the debris shade that could attract larger fish.

"Thought it was shade as opposed to something shady, right?!" Mayor Castor said.

But, it didn’t take long for Castor, the former Tampa police chief, to realize what it was.

"Closer we got, I was like, ‘oh, that would be a bail of cocaine,’" Castor told FOX 13.
