fishing trip on Sunday

[love2fish]

Took advantage of this incredible weather we've had lately and got out onthe water early sunday, perfect sunrise:


 fast moving bait on the flats took a while to catch, made it to the fishing spot and ended the day with 3 keeper trout, a thick red that spit the hook 5ft from the net (damn!)  and this big girl:





LOVE seeing the boat on the water:

Nice snook!!  I bet that was fun on that light rod. Your boat does look really nice.

Sweet!!  It was a beauty day yesterday, wasn't it!  Watching a couple of those football games yesterday, well...  

Betcha it was still a bit nippy hopping overboard, Chris...

indeed Bob, fell into a hole while fighting the snook, definately a shock to the system.

Been there, done that!!!

Lewis, that's my preferred method of catching snook in the grass.  Penn 712Z spooled with 10 lb. mono, with an 18" 30 lb. leader to protect from the gill plates.  Lotsa fun!!!

bought a new setup saturday- that was actually my first fish on the new rod/reel: Shimano Spheros 4000, St Croix 7'6" MH rod, 20#braid,equalizer, 20#floro, circle hook

That is a beautiful fish, beautiful boat....and great pics too

What would you reckon that snook weighed?

[love2fish]

guessing 20lb range

guessing 20lb range

She has a fat belly...more snook!!!

Nice Snook, unless your keeping it, and at 20 lb and out of season you weren't, don't hold those big girls up by the jaw, does alot of damage to the fish if not killing her later, it dislocates the jaw and she can't eat, Snook are the worst out of all the fish for this, not trying to be a prick, just trying to inform you, support all the weight like in the first pic always, it's the right thing to do for the fish

good point Scott, no offense taken.
