James Fuqua(Jimbo,Jd,Hammer) has a nose for finding the big fish in the shorebound waters of Florida.For as long as i can remember Jimbo has been traveling far and near on a weekly basis to fish any beach,pier,jetty or bridge that he thinks holds fish.Here we see Jimbo on the west coast fishing from the Skyway bridge in Tampa Bay. Jimbo fought this huge Jewfish estimated at 400 lbs on his 14/0 and harnell rod for 45 minutes and at the end of the battle the humongous fish took a dive under the bridge and snapped Jimbo's rod at the fore grip but he still managed to handline it into submission.With all the knowledge that Jimbo has gained in the many years of fishing from land it would not be easy for any fish to get away from him.

That's a fat jewfish.You can tell how big it is in reference to the pilings.
The big head.
