Lady Power And Much More
Looks like this weekend's 39 hour Florida Fisherman ll's trip is going to be a wet one. No problem! The Ladies will show us how to 'rough-it.'
Before we get started lets pay tribute to a gentleman who believes in this great country we live in. Mr. Leo Smith is proud to wear the title United States Marine (retired):
Leo is not only one of the 'PROUD,' but he is also an expert fisherman. This Marine's mutton weighed in at a whopping 22 pounds:
Now the rest of the story. We are ready:
Look like it's a good thing those ladies are on board. They will teach us how to 'toughen-up!'
The girls are starting early. Ms. Kerrie Cox:
Hope we can keep up with them. This could get embarrassing. Will, do you think we really have a chance against the girls?
Jason, the girls are looking strong. Katherine is taking it to us
We are proud to welcome, from Machias, Maine, Travis and Kerrie.
Before we even think about moving to Machias it would probably be a good idea to consider the Winter temperatures. With December averaging a high of 26, and a low of 4, it may be wise for us 'crackers' to reconsider.
Travis, looks like Kerrie knows all about 'Lady Power!' Catch Kerrie's great fight .18 seconds into the video at the end of this report:
Jon, Mate on the Florida, can't believe the fight in this young woman. That AJ had absolutely no chance against 'Lady Power:'
Mr. Andrew Roberts, it's a good thing you are helping us out:
Hold on, this is Florida, Florida the 'Sun-shine' state. Travis & Kerrie, did you bring the wind, clouds and rain with you?
Looks like a good time to visit Chef 'Jersey Girl' Tammy. Meat balls, swimming in Tammy's own special sauce, melted cheese, and Tampa Bay's best Cuban bread, will make anyone forget about all that rain. Travis & Kerrie, you are in for a real Southern treat. How could you live without Cuban Bread?
Let's relax before facing that 'Pine Tree' weather again. Jersey Girl always has plenty of action movies to watch:
Well, I guess if our fishing coach, Mr. John Martin, can face the weather, so can we:
Mr. Eddie Sumrall:
Ed caught fourteen fish trolling on this trip:
Our Marine is also very good at catching the elusive, hard to catch, mangrove snapper:
We have been fighting the good fight most of Friday night, and all day Saturday. Let's catch one more AJ before visiting our 'Jersey Girl.' That center cut pork chop, with Tammy's own, 'special touch' gravy, and all the trimmings is calling out to us:
(All A J's & American red snapper were properly vented and returned home. Hope they don't get too wet)
On this, and many trips, it's an honor to welcome the hard working, dedicated, FWC biologist, Mr. Joe Tarnecki & Ernest Jaramillo, on the Florida Fisherman ll. This is real, on the water, up to date, data:
Joe made a thorough study of our Marine's huge mutton snapper:
