Fishing with the guys from Al Capone Cigar Company
Today we had a total of 21 guys fishing with 5 of the boats in our fleet. These guys all work for a cigar company called Al Capone Cigar Company and I've got to say these guys were all a blast to fish with.
Aboard the Hooked Up we had Marcel out of Miami Florida, Jono from Tampa Florida (And yes this is how he spells his name) Russ from Atlanta Georgia, and Bob from the city where they make things small New Jersey (LOL).
We started out trolling the reef catching a few kingfish and bonitos a few beers and a LOT of CIGAR SMOKE and some great laughs.
Ok now that everyone had caught fish it was time to switch things up and see if we could catch the biggest fish out of the fleet.
We brought in all of our trolling gear and set out our kites with live baits suspended from them. Ok so the trap was set and the wait was on. We waited and waited and waited and choked on some more cigar smoke and waited some more.
Than all of a sudden as I was giving Jono a hard time about chain-smoking these cigars a big splash by one of our kite bait and we were Hooked Up.
We figured the only way to get a little break from Jono,s smoke was to put him in the chair to fight this fish. No Such Luck Jono was now smoking his cigar and fighting this big fish at the same time.
After a good 7 min fight up popped this monster 51-inch barracuda.
Way to go Jono and look a photo with no cigar in your mouth!!
Marcel and the rest of the gang from Al Capone cigars we had a BLAST fishing with all of you thanks again and we are looking forward to our next SMOKY fishing trip.
