Hit the water at 3:30, out at just after 7, got 3 keeper Grouper, a decent King and a decent Cobia

I'm whooped so that is all

Had to cut up the Cobia so it would fit in the ice chest and the wife takes terrible pics

Did you go out on the G3 flat boat in the background? How far do you go for those grouper? Nice cobia.

Yep, that's what I take

it was 6.7 miles from Mashes and 28 foot at the deepest spot

Wevans, Did that king take a stretch ? I had a cutoff on a stretch last Fri that I figured was from a king..

Breambuster... now you know who on the forum has the .. well has the biggest something when it comes to offshore in a little boat.

But wevans has something worked out with the wind and wave gods. He only has to sacrifice a grouper pole every year to Neptune

I am still learning how to run my bayboat, not quite trusting it yet. I got the boat since January and thus far, it has only seen saltwater once - and I got skunk that day.

May be I will grow up someday to be just like Weaven, catching grouper on a bass boat.

I'm gonna get a grouper rod and a stretch (or two)!!!

Should I get wire line?

Beauty of a Cobe

You don't need a bigger boat- Just a bigger cooler!

I don't use a leader, just tie direct to the Cajun Red 40# test. That's the first keeper Cobia that I've landed by myself, it aint no easy chore

I hope you drug that cobe for a long time before you put him in the boat with ya

Nice haul
