Josh and Lincoln from Kansas. Had an awesome four hour trip with game changer charters. They wanted some hard fish to pull on and right out of the gate. First two baits in the water a big jack creavalle , and a Bonita. The hits kept coming after that with some amberjack red snapper that they kept and a grouper we released. Thank you for fishing with GameChanger charters. We look forward to seeing you next time.
