Omar, and many others, are close to limiting-out on mangrove snapper, and we are talking about a federal two day limit of 20:
Look at the size of that mangrove snapper Mr. Eugene Sawyer just caught:
Looks like the tuna are hungry also:
Two of Florida's three huge fish boxes are filling up fast. We are talking about fish boxes that hold multi-hundreds of pounds. Looks like Friday the thirteenth is good luck after all:
Looks like Mr. Doug Dallier, fellow Jesuit High School & University of Tampa alumni, is well on his way to an outstanding catch. Every time I take a look at fishing spot number 12, Dough has a fish on:
Even the mutton snapper are hungry:
Mr. John Chung will never forget this battle:
Now this stuff is getting serious:
Saturday morning brings more of the same:
Omar, is there anything you can't catch?
Talk about excellent eating:
Look at the color on that red grouper:
Mr. Ian Keith:
Omar, hope you have a truck big enough to carry all of your fish:
Captain John is so proud of his grouper. It's a good one:
Look at the size of that dreaded lion fish:
Sundown! Let's top off the boxes and see what Chef Tammy has for dinner. Catching all those fish has made us hungry; I mean really hungry:
Talk about a major adventure in paradise...Snapper, grouper, kings, and even tuna, This is Our Florida, our Tropical Wonderland:
Well! The Florida's three huge fish boxes are stuffed to the 'gill!' We have been in fish all night Friday, and all day Saturday. Let's catch one more and see what Tammy has special for us tonight:
Guys & gals, we started out trip with a tender, flavorful, chicken breast on hot Tampa Bay's best Cuban bread; then a steak dinner that would put the finest restaurant to shame. Breakfast Saturday morning was eggs, bacon, sausage, and Country sausage gravy over hot biscuits. And never forget lunch...The best Italian sausage smothered in grilled onions & peppers on, once again, hot Cuban bread. Can it get any better than this? Well! Just imagine a huge center cut pork chop swimming in Chef Tammy's own very special gravy, cooked to perfection white rice, and the best steamed mixed vegetables. Heck with the fish...Let's EAT!
Fish boxes #'s 1 & 3 have long been iced down and sealed. Just enough room left in box number 2 for ice:
Captain John, take us home. We sure know what to do on the long ride home:
Sunday morning all ready? It can't be:
Will and Jon have been unloading fish for over half an hour. Get those pictures:
Mr. Dallier, you represented Jesuit High School and the University of Tampa well:
