    That is impressive Jeb. Jigs or live bait from the ones on the pier?

    Actually, my dad caught a barely legal cobia on one of the first days that the pier opened in 2009. It was only legal by about an inch but he tossed it back. Maybe mention his fish in the footnotes when you write the official History of New GSP Catches.

    10-4 and very grateful for a fisherman that is willing to throw back such a good eating fish.

    Looked closely at this pic and noticed there is a tiny hint of a smile on Jebs face.
    Half a smile I'd say.
    This is very uncharacteristic for Jeb. He told me he would smile only when he gets a 100 #er.

    I guess a half 100 #er rates a half a smile!!!!!

    You might catch a smile on my face this spring if my wife or one of my boys busts one.

    I got a tarpon via kayak a few 100 yards from the pier last year. I didn't get any pics myself (had my hands full)
    But maybe someone did.
