These two young ladies took care of business. I had as much fun watching them as they probably had. Madeline and Taylor were treat to fish with.
I was in the Keys earlier this month and these dolphin were entertaining themselves on our bow.

This Young Lady caught this part of her slam just before the storm came. Madeline and Taylor both helped each other catch this tarpon.

This is this first Hammer head shark I have encountered. The DeGroot Family had a great day catching Lemon shark, Black tips and this Hammer head. What a thrill! The Hammer head later bit my boat and left his "finger print" .

Caught, landed and released

This is a video shot by Steve from PA. After catching at least 8 King fish and 6 cobia he decided to let me try fighting one of the cobia. We used my underwater camera to catch some cool video of this fish that I had to land with out the gaff because I was going to release her. She was 63 inches long and very heavy. My guess is between 80 and 100 pounds.

Sarasota charter fishing





Fishing has been great lately but yesterday was epic. I had one lucky client who caught big Kings, giant cobia and one 150 pounder Goliath Grouper. Steve was on fire catching 6 cobia, a few small grouper, along with about 10 king fish. He was so tired after the 6th cobia he told me to take over on the monster, after a 20 to 30 minute battle I landed the 63 inch monster that I could not gaff because I had to let her go. I wrestled her in for a couple of quick photos and sent her back. Today we went out and got a 40 pounder. Nothing like yesterday but always good to fill the cooler with one fish.


Thanks for the great time - Thomas will have lasting memories of landing the Cobia. You are welcome to download any pictures.
Cheers!
