We headed out about 8:30 am on sat, it was cold and windy. We hit our first spot and were quickly hooked up.

Me again

We left them biting in hopes of catching some keepers. Went back in alligator harbor and caught 8-10 reds to 23".
Went out for 30 min again on Sunday and picked ip a few more mid slot reds then Peg hooks this nice un.

After cleaning that last fish I took a look in his stomach. Two mulled gizzards and this guy. Anyone know what this is?

Great weekend. My wife outfished me as usual.

No wonder I could not find a Red on Sunday, all of their mouths were sore.

Great day! Those are some healthy reds. Just curious, what kind of tackle were you using to land those hosses?

Ha Brian, I thought it looked a lot like a 15" white seinko. Not sure if it was an eel or some type of worm. Didn't have much of a head.
Bullet, we used my dock rod for those fish. Med heavy GL3 with cabo 40, 20# pp with 40# fluro leader. We caught plenty last year on med rods with 10# pp and a 30# leader. Usually the hook bends before the line breaks
