Looks like Army did ya one better. Ground pounder fooled this beauty that was just shy of 29". Pretty sure it's his biggest to date.

Looks like you all had a good morning. Congrats.
Being out on the water in the kayak is the prize. Catching fish is the bonus.

Excellent morning Gents - I really enjoyed it.

And these from today - twins in subsequent casts after an entire afternoon of hunting.

Overall a good weekend.

Thanks Norm -

You know Rik, as odd as it sounds, I have been back here in Florida since November of last year, have caught more than my share of legal fish, but have yet to harvest one for dinner... No aversion - just am too concerned with getting the fish back in the water that I never think of it until it is too late... I'll have to get better at that.
