NE Florida Sunday 8-9

We stayed around 100-110ft. Vis wasn't great, but still manageable. We were running 40mph all day, it was a great day. I managed to get the biggest Gag on the last dive. He went just over 50lbs and went 50" in length! I didn't really know it was that big until I got on the boat. Overall solid day other than being in egg city in lobster grounds. Nice patches of sargassum scattered everywhere. We seen some decent patches and jumped in to look. Only baitfish, nothing big.

Re: NE Florida Sunday 8-9

I haven't either. I didn't know it was that big until I got it on the boat. I knew it was big, but had no idea. 2 weeks ago I got a nice one as well, it was 35lbs and that was big. But this one put it to shame. All three on the boat probably added to 100lbs. Maybe a tad more.
