Roger, now that's a nice one. Mark, filling in for Kyle, is doing an excellent job. Kyle was in a automobile accident. Please join me in saying a prayer for him.

Can someone who has never fished the Gulf of Mexico catch the elusive mangrove snapper? You had better believe it:

But can he catch the big, tough, fish? Well! How about two AJ's?

How about a burger? Now hold on! Tammy burgers may be great, but don't you think you could at least leave us the plate?

Rich, Will, and many others had no problem in catching their two day federal limit of twenty mangrove snapper Look at the size of those beauties:

This is turning into a major mangrove snapper catch:

Our 'Targeting Mangrove Snapper' has resulted in well over 450 Florida Middle Grounds sized snapper. It's time to say good-by for now. Thank you Captain Bryon for a wonderful trip. Let's hit the showers; eat our steak dinner, and say hello to our bunks. We are tired. I mean really tired.
Will & Mark have our catch well iced for the long ride home:

Ok! Decision time. Is leaving or coming back preferred? We saw John's Pass Bridge at 3 P.M. Friday afternoon. Take a look at 6 A.M. Sunday morning:

Both are beautiful. What do you think?
Ms. Katie Barretto & Mr. Randy Carpenter are all smiles:

Now that's a nice string:

It's always an honor to have our Northern friends join us. Mr. Jim Atkinson, & Mr. Junior McMahan drove for 19 solid hours to fish the Florida Middle Grounds. Was the 1,100 mile trip from Missouri worth the ride? Jim, "Fishing was great:" Junior, "Super trip!" But can they catch our Southern fish? Well! Mr. McMahan took home $420.00 jack pot money with an 8.7 pound mangrove snapper. Those who caught grouper were not entered in the jack pot.

Many of us who fish also hunt. With the approach of cooler weather, opportunities like this often come to mind. Tiger Island here we come:
