Title: Great Fights From he PAST
Post by: harbison on July 24, 2018, 07:22:55 PM

Great Fights From the PAST
Unfortunately most of us can never spend enough time on the water. But our memories of, 'Great Fights From the PAST' can never be taken away from us.
Think ladies can't catch the mighty, I am stronger than you, Amberjack? Think again:

Think Blackfin tuna are really not that fast? Try catching, gaffing, one:

To talk about fast is to talk about one of the fastest of the fast, the Wahoo. Scientists have measured a Wahoo's burst of speed at 48 mph. The speedster can grow to a maximum length of about 8 feet, but they are more commonly around 5 feet. On the Florida Fisherman ll many 'Great Wahoo Fights', past & present, have been both won & lost:

The Sunshine State is rich in fishing history. We have been Deep Sea Fishing for a very long time. Way back when prices were a 'little' different from today:

Like a tasty Florida blue crab dinner? After all, they are only:

 thud  It'a an honor to share with our northern neighbors.
For some unknown reason this sight often freezes up on me. Going on a 44 hour full moon snapper trip this weekend. Will share if the sight allows.
