good fishing

Yesterday at 7:45 AM, we headed out to the deep-sea fishing grounds with client Todd Jackson and his group, which included two women. On the way out, I set up the trolling lines. We had one solid hookup, but the fish missed and didn't stick. Once we arrived at the spot, the first fish we brought up was a triggerfish. Shortly after, Todd caught an amberjack. Everyone was waiting for a grouper, but we had to cut the trip short—one of the women in the group started suffering from seasickness, so Todd made the call to head back to port. We put the trolling lines back out on the return trip. On the way in, we added two more fish to the boat: first a 10 lb mahi-mahi, and then a 6 lb barracuda. After dropping the guests off at the dock, I decided to head back out to the spot on my own to keep fishing. I ended up landing what we were looking for—a 28 lb strawberry grouper. You can see the full day's catch in the photo. Though the trip was cut short due to the circumstances, it turned out to be a productive day. Big thanks to Todd for the great company and the excellent tip.

Great day, great guys, great fishing.

It was great fishing, we caught a lot of groupers and other fish like whales, they raised their tails in front of the boat.
