Went out last friday and I have to say, this is the best offshore trip I've ever had!!! I'll definitely be back. Perfect morning After about 2.5 hours we finally get to drop lines in the water and IMMEDIATELY start catching shark. After about 30min we had the boats limit  Then we ran about 2 miles and got into the Vermillion Snapper pretty good  We had about 20 between me and my lady and suddenly her line starts smoking off the reel!!!   I gotta say I'm super proud of her. She's 4' 10" and a buck and some change and she fought this thing the whole way! I'm not sure how long it took but I'd say it was about 15-20min before she finally got it to the boat.   Yup... It's bigger than her And the reason I was looking down was because right before the picture was snapped the deckhand yelled "its puking its stomach!!" this is what came out  Final catch  my lady and the deckhand with the fish  The last pic was supposed to be submitted to the paper so if anyone see's it in there please let me know! I'd love to get a copy of the paper for her!

I went down there a few years ago and went out on the Pelican, we caught fish, but just averaged about 2 a piece, it seemed like we did more riding in the boat than fioshing, the next time we got a private charter and caught a bunch of fish, that was expencive but it was a blast
