Whoa!! Sounds like you need to slip a little JD in yer coffee there, Mo!

Wish I could help, but I've never tried. I just put em up on my web space and link to there.

If I were home this morning there would
be some Crown or Baileys in my cup.
MO

John V-- you are the picture man!!
What in the H#@# am I doing wrong here?
MO

Mo,

Let me try it.By the way nice fish!!!
Tell us the story .

It has something to do with the filename.I'll get it done soon.

It was the numbers included in the filename.This site does not like numbers in the filename for some reason.Numbers will put spaces in the filename when posted here.

thnkx Skeeter-
what was I doing wrong?
Any way the fish was caught 45 miles out of
Biloxi MS. Caught it on a live sand trout.
the fish were suspended about 65 ft deep
in over 100 ft of water. This was two days
after christmas this year. 29 lbs. My lady
hooked this fish and was afraid she was going
to be pulled in. Being the gentleman I am, I
took over the rod. However the 2nd rod
bowed over at about that time and she had
to fight another fish that was only slight
smaller than this one.
thanks MO

Thanks Skeeterhawk and Ernest
My day will go much better now
MO

Yo, Mo! Bring that big ole snapper over here & I'll help ya dispose of him!! I might even spring for a beer or two! YUM

Heck of a nice fish!! congrads....can't say the same for that hat you are wearing though!!

Mo, that is one heck of a Snapper....Biggest one I ever seen. I can still remember the big one Dad caught when I was a kid....27lbs.

Did ya have to toss him back? Out of Corpus we were having to toss some real nice Red Snapper back. Out of season they said???

The hat was a gift from my son( he graduated
last may from UT)
The fish really did not take that long to
land. It made a couple of short runs towards
the bottom, but once I had it headed for the
surface it was over.

The long fight was the next day when
my lady caught a 40 inch redfish on 8lb
test. (that took her an hour to land)
MO

Awesome picture ... makes me want to move to the coast right now!
Ya'll were out past the Chandaleurs fishing the rigs?

The snapper had to go back, a real shame.
In federal waters, Snapper season closes
from end of oct to first of april or something like that. We went out of Gulfport, the Chandeleurs are southwest,
we headed southsoutheast. We could just see
the lighthouse on the east end of the islands. All the Chandeleurs are in Louisana waters, and our guide did not have a Louisana guide license.
( Would cost him $2000. as a MS resident.)
The snapper were the most impressive fish,
but the most fun were the bluefish. I used
my abu 5500 with 15lbtest and a prism jigging
spoon. I had a ball until they ate all the
spoons. ( should have rigged a wire leader)
I thought bluefish were a mid to north
atlantic species, but they are common on
these rigs and on east to florida. I've never caught them in texas waters.
