My husband Barry caught this red on the jetty. It was too big so he released it .
He caught another one that was a little smaller and it was delicious!

Now that the red snapper is so hard to find, I thought this reminder that you can’t even drop a hook without catching one this days. Where exactly does the governments data come from ? 15 red snapper caught within 10 miles in early march 2008, released safely. They are plentyful and huge this year.
My fishing partner and husband of 24 years, JerryLee Hall was always an avid fishwater fisherman.....that is until our oldest son, Perry Lee Hall, introduced him to saltwater fishing. Now it is SOOO hard to make it fishwater....is such a darn shame we aren’t able to keep what we have soooo much fun catching though. Is so hard to release that 27 1/2 inch red that you have fought so diligently to land....;)

This was caught on the Panama City pier.
THIBODAUX, La. (AP) - It’s the big one that didn’t get away.Louisiana medical student J.J. Tabor has landed a whooper of a grouper. Tabor’s fish sets a new state record of more than 359 pounds. It’s also making for some monster fillets. Tabor says the first fillet weighed 53 pounds. But don’t expect Tabor to reveal his favorite offshore fishing spots. Friends say Tabor even makes them wear blindfolds when he takes them fishing.
Me and Robbie caught over 100 Fish on July 28,2007. We had to through back 30 Red Snapper, to small. That is why they are not in the picture. 4 different spicies.
Caught this one on a sand flea that I hand scooped just a few minutes earlier. The pompano were chewing pretty good that day out on Crystal Beach.

This one survived the Red Tide. It was caught on a Gulp Jerk Shad root beer color
Fishing offshore at Cedar Key on a new artificial reef I hooked one of the biggest fish I have ever dreamed of catching. it pulled like nothing else I had ever caught.
Fishing in 45 ft of water off the TLOVE boat 28ft contender CC with twin 200 Yahamas, using live 10 inch pin fish we were doing good with the keeper gag grouper.
Then I hooked up with the hardest pulling fish I have ever hooked.
We were on a reef made of chicken coups and old truck bodies.
This particular fish would fight off the drag and then I could recover most of the excess then out it would run again. After about thirty minutes of fighting this fish i knew the braided 60 lb line might not hold so I decided to free dive and fight the fish into submission with a spear gun I had on board.
Visiblity was 30 ft or so and after making a couple test dives I headed down the line to the bottom and there it was, the biggest rock bass I had ever seen! he had taken my bait and ducked inside on of the old truck bodies and rolled the window up.
Everytime I pulled the line it lifted the truck body, adding to the fish pulling. This was great fun.
I bet Capt. Reinhart has never seen this happen before.
