WOW! Where were you fishing?
Put in at Pensacola pier and started peddling south
Sounds like you had a nice trip how many miles where you out?
Congrats, nice fish.

Nice catch man and not too bad of a meal there either! You get a weight on it?
Way-to-go Peaches! I have a feeling we are going to see something interesting this year. Heard some folks shark fishing off the beach in FL last week caught an 800 lb Mako. Then there was a Great White hooked off the Atlantic side of FL in the same week.Quote:

On another note...I know of several Mahi caught in close proximity to the pier last year from yaks. Did we ever confirm or deny the catch of one off the pier last year? I remember seeing a pic on here. :confused:
There was a dolphin caught of the pier last year. I gaffed it. I refuse to call that fish by its Hawaiian name.
nice fish peaches but no yak for me
Nice tuna peaches!
thanks man, I think I will go with the gator, I love that unfinished look and feeling they have, I might use a plate seat on it just because of that cool feelQuote:
