Headed out on a buddies new boat Saturday for the maiden voyage. Wanted to get out to cobwebs before the tournament season gets here and before we start really slaying the Yellowfin tuna!
Went 1/1 on Blue marlin and stopped for a very quick load of snapper on the way in... Most were in the 20-22" range with a few going 27-30. Quick and easy and will fill the freezer!

A HUGE CONGRATULATIONS ON THE BLUE MARLIN!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Was it on bait or a lure? And, you can add me to the list of offshore
fishermen who will pitch in for fuel if you need a hand out there!
