Got my 50 !
 

53 pound Black Grouper that is :D

Yankee Capts out of Key West - missed the snow to boot . . .

sweet

nice G2
how was the fight??

Looks like you suffer from the same disease as me. "silly face in photo-itus". :laughs:

Niiiice!

Largest one I caught was about 3 inches long on the Miss Hatteras last summer. :laughs:

Good Man! Dont worry I shoveled your share of the snow while you were gone :laughs:

Actually Toby, that's a good picture of me :p

I had been at the rail for 27 hours straight when that fish hit at sunrise on Wednesday morning - I think I'm going to save that one for when Bassmaster posts one of his "I'm Junk" threads.

Slingah - fight was awesome - about 30 minutes. Got her to the top twice only to see her power back to the bottom (130') finally got her to the gaff on the third attempt. The fish kicked my a$$ - despite the adrenaline rush I slept the entire 6 hour steam back to the dock :sleeps:

NICE FISH!!!
Was it the biggest fish caught for the day?
Those grouper can get pretty big!!!

Nice Fish. You earned the nap on the way home! :)

nice fish!!!

Nice... should be doing some of that soon..
you havent felt a hit till you nail a 20lb grouper on the troll....

You MADMAN you :btu:

That must be one strong and powerful fish to take you back to the bottom twice :eek:

Good job.

My 60 came from Florida also, an amberjack on 20 lb line with a short boatrod on a wreck off Stuart a few years ago late April. Then I beat it with a 70 lb tarpon that kicked my butt down in the Keys.

Show us more pics

niiice.

nice fish ! you picked the right spot aft right next to the box . Ive only caught small groupers ( forgot which variety ) in St Pete .

Awesome! :kewl:

Man, that's gonna make a helluva sangwich...

nice fish!:D

How long did you stay there for a key west fishing? Damn man, you rock!

Did ya keep or release it? I know that you don't eat fish. ;)

Mouth is watering uncontrollably as I type this. Grouper are delicious. Garlic and basil marinade, grilled , yum yum.

Do yourself a favor and get a recipe for Grouper Oscar. I have it whenever I'm in Florida and it is awesome! Fantastic eating fish. Tremendous catch Gloucester!

Nice fish Kevin!
 

How do you say? ~~~~~ Bastage?


Thanks for sharing! :)

G2-

Was that on the Tortugas multi day run? I found an old Sportfishing Magazine, or Salt Water Sportsman, one of them.... had a great article on those guys and that trip.

Looks like a great time, Congrats on a trophy catch!!!

-Hooper:D

You asked for it :D


About a 10 pound red grouper

Small cero mackeral

Last "LookeeMe" I promise :D

Congrats on what looks to be an outstanding trip.
