Nice catch!
:beer:

Nice fish!

That's one salty looking old codger holding him.

Looking forward to some of the "after" pics.

Very nice!!! Id love a 28-day season over here!!!!

Awesome fish! What's the preferred bait?

And with a catch that size you have proved once again that the Fisheries Science is SNAFU. That size Red Snapper simply doesn't exist according to the fisheries bunch. Nice catch indeed..

Congrats Phat! We did a trip to Mayor Lane in the yaks and limited out. Trying a night trip. This week.

thanks guys, i started not to go, lot to do at work. but then i thought, i can only fish 28 days a year and work 250 days a year. no brainer

blue we had live chofers(pin fish), squid and frozen cigar minnows. this one was caught on the frozen cigar minnows.

Nice....I know what ya mean about the no brainer. I've fished the last 2 weekends despite the 400 mile round trip tow to the salt. Gotta go when you can go.
