Buddy in Charleston w/28' cat CC, twin 200 Optis...ran out 60 miles(sea was FLAT!)...20 & 30lb WAHOO, grouper, triggers, red snapper(biggest was 24lbs) and biggest black sea bass I ever caught(tasty!)...FANTASTIC DAY FISHIN'...wish I coulda done it in my V-20, but even they got their limits...Trip was well worth 3hr drive(each way)...I'm a little beat now...like Dean Martin used to say, "I gonna go to da couch now...)

Nice catch! ;D
How fast does a boat like that run? Seems like you guys were doing around 20mph?

How far off were you when you were bottom fishing ? That is a heck of a mixed bag . A 24 lb. red !!

Airborne...that boat at WOT just tops 50mph...he does his long range cruising at 25-28kts(3500rpm)...very fuel efficient, burned about 90 gals gas all day

Labii...we made several stops...170', 220' and deepest was little over 300'(that's where the hoos happened; we trolled for about an hour)...mixed bag is right!...this guy has got some GREAT NUMBERS ...he also presently holds IGFA record for Red Snapper on 20lb and less line...that brute was 31.5lbs!
