| We are always looking at the weather window off shore. It is some times hard to get out in the winter because of the winds. Today we took a chance and headed off shore. This time of year we try and catch a few grouper when we can get out. Out of Pensacola pass around 07:00 with an out going tide to say it was rough would be an under statement. We looked at each other to see who was going to throw in the towel and head back in, but no one said a word. At the fastest part of the trip, we were running @19 knts. But our hearts were there to catch a few groupers regauardless of how rough it got. We fished in 175 feet today and hard bottom. Most of our trips we are out classed by the fish below. Using Penn torque300's with 80# braid and 25# of drag we could not keep the ? from getting back to the bottom. Man what a rush, you get mad but you just bait up again, and go back down to get your butt kicked. Most of the time the the red snapper will not leave us alone and I am sure Rob will add some pictures from this trip of some of the snapper. We donated one grouper to the man in the gray suit.Tim, Rob and I had another great day offshore. Just can't wait to long for the next one. See you all out there. Gene

| Great report, there must have been some hogs down there to be wearing out those reels like that. It does get you fired up a bit not to get them to the top, but you got to wonder how big they were. Ted

| Here is a picture of one of the large endangered Red Snapper that we caught yesterday it weighed 19 pounds. The darn things would not leave us alone we caught several between 10 and 12 pounds all vented and released. It was a great day on the water a little sporty with the seas but we all had a great time. Gene kicked butt and took names yesterday he is the new grouper master. My Torium 30 was just out classed. Rob

Great job once again guys on a nice box of fish. That looks like a pretty good grade of scamp, too bad jaws got one of your gags , I know the feeling. We've only got the rest of this month to catch gags before they shut us down for 2 months, glad to see ya'll are getting em while you can. Beautiful snapper by the way

Nice haul. It just goes to show you what can be accomplished when you don't play golf.
If it makes me grin, I will do it again.
