Florida's annual lobster mini-season got off to a wild start but the most interesting catch may not have involved a crustacean.
A person diving for lobster in the Florida Keys came across a brick of cocaine Wednesday afternoon, authorities said.
The discovery was made about a mile offshore of Tavernier on the oceanside, Monroe County Sheriff's Office officials said.
The sheriff's office released a photo of the package, which featured a bunny head and crossbones logo and the word "bunny."

Officials said the package was turned over to U.S. Border Patrol.
The two-day lobster mini-season was continuing Thursday, after a number of incidents on Wednesday including a diver being struck by a boat propeller, multiple vessels capsizing, and some divers having to be rescued.
