Gone Fishin'

This thread makes me think of beer batter and tartar sauce.

Nice catches guys.

 

Haha, my freezer is still full of cod and haddock from last year LOL. It's been awful weather this year, I just got the boat in a few weeks ago and have been too busy catching up around the house to get much use out of it yet. So, I'm jealous, but I'll still give you guys that they are catches ;D

 

So i forgot i started this thread...since then I have bought my own boat and these are some of the highlights from fishing on it...The last pic is a fish my buddy caught...the rest i caught

 

Nice catches. Wish i had a boat.

 

Went fishing yesterday. Highlight of the day was the first pic...a 40" Cobia...got almost 6lbs of meat of that thing!...the second pic is of me fighting what is in the third pic...a 6-7ft Tiger Shark...got him up to the boat for the photo-op before letting him on his way. The 4th pic is a keeper red that my wife caught.

 

This is a Goliath Grouper we caught off the coast of Key West, my friend is about 5'7

 

I bet that was fun to reel in...They are thinking of opening a Goliath Grouper season, so u can keep em at some points...would be a lot of delicious meat on them things..lol

 

Yea they're fun, basically feels like you're reeling in a dump truck off the bottom! Im looking for some better pictures...we caught some nice ones in Key West. Thats my favorite place in the States to go to.

 

I Caught a 48" King Mackeral, foul hooked only, fishing off the East End of Galveston Beach about 3/4 mile offshore, probably 20-30ft of water. We were trolling with my sailing catamaran in light air and light seas. That foul hooked so he could swim away, while hooked,- THAT was the fight of a lifetime!

I caught him on my racing catamaran sailboat I had at the time, a Prindle 18-2.

I'll look for the pick in my basement, scan it and post it up soon!

 

Not the best of quality because they are pictures of a picture. These plus a boat load more were all caught in one day...best single day of fishing I have ever had. I also caught a Blue Marlin off that boat in a big tourney, but it happened so fast we didnt get a picture ... he was under the 400lbs kill limit so we had to release quick.
