did not get out until after lunch on saturday, went over to shell island and decided to soak a fresh shrimp & frozen sand flea. lines in the water at 1:00, caught this girl at 3:15, lines out at 4:30. this was the only thing that hit the rods all day. it is the largest one i have ever caught. 18" to the fork, weight 5 lbs. fl record is 8 lbs 4 oz, so they come bigger, but she made a fine meal.

Very nice!

Nice catch Phat, I know that tasted great

I bet he ripped some line, they are fiesty. Nice catch.

No "after" pics? Nice fish!

Nice fish!

I love to eat Pompano.

Nice catch!! Never caught one. They are good to eat though!

thanks guys'
was fun to catch and great to eat. i usually grill them whole, but this one was big enough to filet and cook both sides. made two meals for two people.
weather not looking good for this weekend, lots of rain and water is already like chocolate milk.
