Key West Sportfishing Delivers! A group of brothers from Miami came down for an unforgettable Key West fishing trip, and the action did not disappoint! The highlight of their three-quarter day private charter was a massive 40-pound King Mackerel (Smoker Kingfish)—an absolute beast! They also landed some solid Cero Mackerel, making for a day full of exciting fights and great catches. Sportfishing in Key West is on fire right now, and this trip was proof of it!

Last January as we started our morning out we were running along the coast when I saw a big dark shape. It turned out to be a giant school of the largest bluefish I've ever seen. Bluefish aren't a fish we target in south Florida, but I would if they were like these. We caught over a dozen and probably lost just as many. But each one was bigger than any other bluefish I'd ever seen off Miami. We were just releasing them, but it turned out we could have had the state record beat. State record was just over...

But each one was bigger than any other bluefish I'd ever seen off Miami. We were just releasing them, but it turned out we could have had the state record beat. State record was just over 20 pounds and we had a bunch bigger than that. Unfortunately, I have seen them since that morning.

This September off the Islamorada hump we caught an estimate 200-250lb blue marlin on 20lb line He ate the short bait behind the boat and went ballistic! Right in front of the whole fleet fishing at the hump. Epic! We landed him in 45 minutes on a shimano TLD 25.

The Warsaw Grouper of a Lifetime As part of my Big Fish Series, this catch represents one of the most incredible moments of my fishing career. Measuring over 84 inches, this Warsaw grouper is not only the largest grouper I’ve ever caught but also the biggest fish (excluding sharks) I’ve ever landed. This fish was truly a once-in-a-lifetime experience. The battle was nothing short of epic, testing my skills and endurance. Armed with a Shimano Talica 50, the grouper put up a fight worthy of its size and reputation. Every second of the struggle was a reminder of the raw...

Every second of the struggle was a reminder of the raw power and sheer determination these giants possess. Landing this grouper will forever stand as a milestone in my journey as a fisherman. It’s a humbling yet thrilling reminder of the incredible encounters the ocean holds for those willing to test their limits.

Goliath Grouper is the biggest grouper in the grouper family. It can grow 500+ lbs, here is some I've caught I the past months. Usually found by rocks and wrecks so tough to get to the boat which make for a great challenge.

Here are a verity of depths and big fish. 🎣 unfortunately I don't have any measurements of the fish. All are species I often catch, so I can say they are waaayy above average sized. The Mahi was on a slow slow day. 3hrs of trolling on our 35' Carolina Classic without a bite. Just as we were planning to "switch gears" and anchor up for some bottom fishing, we spotted one lone frigate bird. 🦅 as we passed under the bird, our downrigger got slammed. Its first run was long and fast, we immediately assumed it was a wahoo....

The Mahi was on a slow slow day. 3hrs of trolling on our 35' Carolina Classic without a bite. Just as we were planning to "switch gears" and anchor up for some bottom fishing, we spotted one lone frigate bird. 🦅 as we passed under the bird, our downrigger got slammed. Its first run was long and fast, we immediately assumed it was a wahoo. Our angler jumped up from half napping position and started cranking. After fighting for about 15min I got a glimpse of color from the bridge, it was one of the biggest bull mahis I've ever seen. Gaf shot from our mate Sam was perfect, and so were the tacos. One of my life long best friends was visiting key west and helping me with some boat and home maintenance. Luckily one of his last days in town, we had a perfect (2mph wind) day. We could not pass up the opportunity to run out deep. After some adjustments to our bottom reader we started marking fish on the bottom in 900'. Tommy attached the gator clips to 12v and down went the big lead to the bottom. Almost immediately our rod bent over and we knew it was the one we wanted. It was not the subtle bite we often see. After watching the electric reel do all the work, we got beautiful golden reflection of this massive golden tile.

    I’ve been on many charter fishing trips in my life, but Bryan is hands down my favorite guide. He is incredibly knowledgeable and clearly knows these waters inside and out. The highlight of the trip was catching a monstrous 300-400lb shark—an experience I will never forget, and one that wouldn't have happened without the Captain’s expertise and help. Beyond the fishing, Bryan is just a fun, personable guy to hang out with. I really appreciated his coaching style; he taught us exactly what to do and then stepped back to let us actually fish, only jumping in with pointers when needed. I can’t recommend him enough and will definitely be back for another trip!

    Our captain was Steve. Knew the area, put us on fish and helped everyone to have a good time. Helped us clean the catch. An occasional smile wouldn't hurt, but that's beside the point.
