Still back with a vengence

Third time out since the repairs and the streak continues.
Wanted to take advantage of soft seas to get out one more time before gag season closed.
Only 1 24" gag made it in the box, but the cobia bite was strong.
Landed two 36 inchers quickly.

Then the man (x's 2) shows up for a safety inspection.
Showed him the catch and got a thorough safety once-over.
As he was writing my pass, a flatline blew up and they got to watch us bring in, tag, and release a 44" adult.

Had some epic grouper battles that were lost to the rocks and watched helplessly as a huge cobia grabbed a bait and headed towards Tampa, spooling the reel before we could untie the anchor rope.

2 - 36" cobia
2 big spanish
26" red
and a pile of key west grunts for a fish fry this weekend.

Another great day in out paradise.

Way to get 'er done, Woopty! Couple of weeks since I've been able to get on the water, so living vicariously (and a bit jealously too) through your post! :thumbup: :-) salute1
