Is that what you told her after you bought that new outfit? Nice looking rig Scott. I hate to admit it but I lost one of my favorite spinning rods overboard a couple of weeks ago. I had a smallish grouper on and about the time I got it out of the rod holder a stinking jewfish grabbed him and...

We don't eat the heads per se Jim, but I cut the throats and cheeks out of every snapper and grouper I clean. The best flavored meat in the whole fish.

Definitely not a bass. A whitefish maybe?

No doubt those guys have some cahunas Jay and the ones I've known are tough as nails.

:lol:I've shared that look with others on several occasions, how 'bout you Scott? Yesterday was a pretty prime example. I had my friends from Illinois on a little snapper hole and they were catching 'em pretty good. We see a boat a half mile away headed straight for us so I pull anchor, make a...

Muggy as all get out in the summer Jim. Scott that fish is a bonita, in the tuna family and an unbelievable fighter. Those cuda are top end predators for sure Butch.

The big ones are like rockets Cory, they make great jumps and are real screamers, especially on light/medium weight tackle. Those like this one are not that impressive when compared to amberjacks or bonita of the same size. I don't eat barracuda but my father-in-law really likes them. They kept...

Thanks guys. Took some friends from Illinois out today and they caught barracuda, amberjack, snapper, bonita, mackerel and also hooked up on some Volkswagen sized jewfish. They were pretty well pooped when we got back to the dock, it was mid 90s and as you can see, not much of a breeze.

Sounds like a good investment to me Butch. Would be glad to have you Jim, I bet those folks love the baby livestock.

That's her Jay, I'm a blessed man. She's put up with my nonsense for 31 years now. Scott they ARE yummy, my Ma-In-Law's secret recipe.

Good one Scott! The Lord blessed us with a bunch of fish to feed the folks at the nursing home and we had a wonderful time. I think they enjoyed it too! And for you yankees that don't know, those are hush puppies! :D

I do that Butch but I'm having a hard time keeping 'em alive. When the oil in my aquarium hit's 350 degrees they start turning brown.;)

You said it Cory, beautiful Scott.

Char are in the Salmonidae family but so are brown trout and that is definitely what it looks like. I have read that there are sea-run browns but didn't know they ventured that far north. Looking again at the markings, I'd say it's got to be a brown.

Gary, they're like a plague here and totally protected, another sore spot with fishermen in Florida. There are very few wrecks or rock piles, inshore and offshore that are not infested with them. Talking to those who ate the big ones when they were legal, no, they aren't very good with a lot of...

There are some pretty tight restrictions on the big bluefins but I don't know who enforces them outside the U.S. Big red snapper are very good too and they are basically overpopulated in southern waters so I don't have a problem keeping them when I catch 'em.

And IDK about that expert on fishing stuff either! I release most big fish Cory not only because they are major spawners, but for genetics like Rich mentioned as well. I read once that the odds of a largemouth bass reaching ten pounds was astronomical, not just because of the age required, but...

You are very well-read in a lot of areas Cory, obviously quite a thinker too.

Think that rig would handle a hundred pound tarpon?;)

I should've been more specific Scott, what weight fly line?
