Who of yall fished in the big bend saltwater classic. I fished in it last year. this year we went out on the nite before the tournament started thurs day. (fathers Day Weekend). We wanted to get a head start out there. We went out to SM1. Which is what about 45 miles out there. WE got there around 7:00 pm. It was a little rough. While there we caught around 10 snapper. After dinner We ran out father about 30 miles farther. We got there at about 2:00am. We caught a bunch of mangroves. After that we started running again at a slow speed. We wnet 85 miles off shore. once we started fishin we caught a few snapper. A few Grouper. Then we stared trolling again workin our way back. OH and it as smooth as glass where we were. we picked a penut dolphin, and a bonita. At the spot we cut the bonita and dropped it down. I caught my first amber jack on it. ANd i dropped a nother piece down and i caught a 12.25 pound Grouper. My biggest. We didn't catch any other fish worth metioning except for a 8 pound red snapper.We caught all those thanks to Kamen Miller. He is the owner of Pressure Drop. His Boat. He does fishing and diving charters. Here is his website http://www.scubadivecharters.com/ .redhead201
