And 3 by boat,
Hooked ours around 7am , fought for a hr 15 min , at the end
the angler just felt " dead weight " , we thought maybe it got 🦈 sharked, but it actually had a heart attack and was dead as a door nail!!!!
150# on a certified ifga scale, hooked it in 35ft , landed in 40ft. Crazy stuff!

    Trip: Inshore/Nearshore Experience

  • ★★★★★
    What a great fishing guide! He made our 3 hour trip on the water a successful day to remember. We caught red fish, drum fish, and sheep's head. He cleaned, filet the fish, and packed them on ice for us. This captain knows where this fish are and treats the customers right! Thank you for a great experience on the gulf Captain Bobby. We will definitely be back to fish again and not with anyone else. Best guide ever!
