Ooo la la. That's the way you do it.
To fish, or not to fish, . . . those are the answers.

First and foremost a big "thanks" to Bman for the trip. As I've told him, he is one of the best outdoors men that I know (right up there with me
)
Bman and I trade trips. Twice in the last three years we have hit this same spot of his and nailed bull reds (my son caught a 42 inch red 3 years ago). It was an amazing trip and even though it may change one day, I've never poached that spot!
I put Bman on his first snook, and next month will put him on snook, reds and tarpon. I bought him lunch and will drop off some red snapper from the freezer for him and his family to enjoy. To all of you new fishermen out there I tell you this so you know how to A. Properly thank someone for an incredible trip and B. Get invited back!
I was pleased with the efforts of all the kids. They've fished since they could hold a fishing pole and it really showed (my son knew exactly what to do when the red went under the anchor line). It was gratifying to see those 7th generation Floridians fishing like pros!
Finally, Bman also is a tremendous, hardworking Realtor. He works like he fishes and is successful at both.
We'll post pictures of the snook next month. Until then, tight lines!

Jose gaspar! That is a name I have not heard in a while. Grew up just north of there. You have a pretty good fishery at home too. Bman should think about opening a fish guide/duck guide/realtor shop all in one. You da man! Nice trips
Ducks, turkeys, flats fishing. Who has time for golf?

Think the word "EPIC" has become so overused, a new word is in order... that goes WAY beyond just the plain ol' typical "epic"!
