keys trip
 

My g/f took me to the keys to celebrate my 50th b-day. She asked me if I wanted a party and I said take me fishing instead. I was stoked when she suggested this! She’s the best!

Spent a couples days in Key West having fun, then went to the middle keys to fish renting a boat for 5 days. My fishing buddy Bill and his wife joined us for four days. We had a blast catching all kinds of stuff, nothing grandeur but still checked off a bunch of species. I got my 1st snook at the dock one early morning unfortunately no pic and hooked a tarpon but didn’t it hold when he jumped! Bunch of pics of our adventure. Want to thank Roy for some tips which helped out.
