really nice bro! real good tasti'n fish. you'll get some real good fillets out dat 1.

 

[jaysen223]

tons of filets. meat was good but a little chewy due to the fish being so old. the younger ones are amazing. i love just catching and releasing these guys.... just to someday catch them again.

excellent fish my friend what bait? I see alot of guys using fly rods on them and fighting them for EVER!!! I personally love fly fishing but I don't think I'd have the time to fight it I would take out the ol pfluger baitcaster and yank em in!!

I agree, esp if its in FL.

not to mention isnt it bad to hold larger fish vertical? I think on larger fish that contributes to spacing out its vertabrae. That could contribute to its death.

I used to hold fish vertical before I learned about that and I dont do it anymore.

I know there are a few pics I have of me holding them that way too and I wish I didnt =[
