Big amber jack was right at 70lbs, heck of a fight. Therefore they earn their names, "reef donkey". We turned all the jacks loose. This porgy in the puc looks like some type hybrid, different body shape and more colorful. Lot of people call the pink snapper.

Yeah, and the $45 diving plugs. Wahoo and cuda massacred one of my new lures but I guess it was worth all the smiles onboard. 4 families getting meat off this trip. Youngsters don't even realize we burned $700 in fuel yesterday.

Heard you mention fishing but I never know when you are serious, ha! Good day out there for all! And I made sure they used their Qwells, new motion sickness tabs, all survived in good shape.

I am about 50 miles due east of lake Okeechobee on the treasure coast, Dorado, sailfish and Cobia are common offshore, and inshore the Tarpon and snook fishing is exceptional. We also get Monster amberjacks, but they are not fun to land, circling your boat for 20 minutes until they tire.

My buddy has a 61' Viking in Jupiter, he doesn't know how to fish but he looks good. Anyway when he wants to stock the freezer he calls me up a couple times a yr. I usually have to run the boat and first mate but my last trip about 9mo ago we landed a giant white marlin and 16 nice dolphin.
Saw 2 cobia yesterday and had some big live menhaden but they wouldn't eat. Very unusual, i assume one had been recently hooked and got off, was hook shy.

talk to the owner of our company, he landed a 100+ pounder last summer while the rest of us sat there with our lines out of the water. I believe I got a 32-pound snook that day, as well as a 6-foot bull shark, and hooked a couple of 6'+ tarpon. They are tough, yet to land one.

I caught the state record AJ about 6-8yrs ago. Our best scale on boat was 109lbs and the record was 93lbs or close to that. I thought the record was 130+ but that was Florida world record. I revived the fish and turned it loose. About 2 wks later, someone weighed in a 109lb AJ and set the new SC state record. I doubt it was same fish but that's pretty coincidental. Dont know if that is same record today?
But that fish kicked my butt. Took about 45min and it was on my bottom fishing rod with a 320 GT Penn. Had to chase the fished so I didn't get spooled. But I can say I caught the record and I turned it loose alive. It was huge!

For me, that's 45 mins of pure pleasure and not the kind you find on Passyunk Ave. in Philly, PA. Not that there's anything wrong with that of course...
Good times, great story.

Found a spot in march, caught 48 reds off 3 waypoints, most I have ever put my eyes on in CHS. Had some that were 28" too but not in season. Went back 2 wks later and caught 18 but I figured out what was happening, I found their spawning area in 100'. They were definitely peeing and creaming then, full blown spawn. I was a good guardian of resources and kept zero but man the temptation!

Nice work. I took my son out of the harbor Fri. We didn’t do quite as well as yall. We trolled til about noon and managed 1 wahoo and a bft. We went to the bottom on the way back in around 110’ and caught a mess of vermillion and a few triggers. We lost two nice grouper as well. Been eating good all weekend.

I love trigger fish. Their meat is so firm, they make the best chowder too. When I fished in Australia they have a couple different varieties of trigger (dont call trigger, cant remember local name), but they are highly prized. I have struggled this year on black seabass and triggers. There are more big shark than ever on all the live bottom along with vermillions and grunts. We caught 40 grunts probably, that was our AJ candy.

They are definitely hooked. Those young girls were whining today about their arms hurting but were ready to go again. I just need to train them to clean fush too! Lots of butchering to get through our box of fish.
Definitely can't trade all the smiles for anything. Maybe one day the tide will turn and these young folk can take their old captain and I can sleep on way out and back in. Then watch someone clean my fish and then cook it for me???
My most joy was watching the youth get fish hooked and get a good fight!

So I had to eat more than my share. We had seared tuna with wasabi and sesame seed coating with ponzu sauce, blackened wahoo, fried vermilion snapper, homemade fries, homemade mango slaw, and about 4 other sides of fresh veggies from garden. Corn on cob, cukes, maters, peppers.
Had a bunch fried fish leftover so I had to have fried fish sandwich for lunch yesterday. It was a feast!
