Show off your fish

Thanks! I feel really fortunate to live so close to some excellent Great-lakes fishing. Coho are showing up and I need to get after them, they are my favorite eaters.

 

Fish room...

 

Red grouper?

 

Yes sir. Very cool experience.

 

Nice. We used to have tons of them here off the coast of NC. Not so much anymore. Mostly gags now.

 

Beautiful

 

My 6yo caught this on the east coast of FL this morning. 23" Gator Trout!

He also caught some snapper yesterday. With 3 boys I don't fish anymore. Just bait hooks and get hype when they catch something.

 

and to you sir... i

 

12 lbs on that micro rig? Well done Lad and Dad!

 

Thank you! She was too big for him to pull out of the water and we didn't have a net so I jumped in, haha. Was also worried about him getting wrapped up under the dock.

 

a 23” spec is no where close to 12 lbs. that’s pushing state record weight. But anyways that’s a huge speck, congrats little man!

 

According to this site @PintSize is probably right. Great Grandpa's (t)rusty scale may have not been so accurate. Or even close. Probably 3-4 pounds. Still super fun morning.

 

He may have been referring to the # test line the reel was spooled with?

 

Potters

 

Hit the surf this past Sunday, nothing thrilling but I got in to a nice handful of whiting.

 

Yummy

 

27 inch Red Fish.
