SUGARLOAF KEY, Florida — It's doubtful Bing Crosby was singing about the kind of "White Christmas" found off the Florida coast this week.

A fisherman boating in the Florida Keys Wednesday spotted nearly 74 pounds of cocaine floating in the water.

Once notified, a deputy with the Monroe County Sheriff's Office picked up the drugs and turned them over to the U.S. Border Patrol, the Miami Herald reports.

The drugs have a U.S. street value worth an estimated $855,000.
