Well, I finally had a break in work and fishing was on my mind. Mr. Bean came down from Pt. Charlotte last night and we hit the water at 6pm.
I told him I have been water some very big SNOOK for a week in the back country. They were very light colored and must have been freshly in. They were also very spooky.
In no time I had found the fish, the first pod held 8 fish and Dave was amazed at the size of them. Didn't take us long to spook them.
Dave's 3rd blind cast produces a giant hit and miss! 4th cast and he is ON!! I drive the boat out from the shore and this girl is running and head shaking and Dave is doing great. I guess he didn't see how big she was cause all of a sudden DAVE SAID : "OH MY GOD SHE'S HUGE!"
We very carefully lifted her into the boat and quickly snapped a picture. No weight was taken due to here size and the damage it would have done. SHE WAS 42.5" on the tape and very girthy!
we fished two more hours and I landed a tarpon about 6 pounds. Dave lost 4 more big Snook, I guess that Skitterwalk was the bait of the evening! Good Job DAVE!
