Went to the Keys yesterday. I put out a amberjack head on the beach. The wind and seasweed was unreal .It started out a bad luck trip.On the way to the Keys I Put my hand in my pocket and a gold hook went under my nail barb and all .It took me thrity min to take the hook out . When i got the hook out I looked in the back of my truck and found out I left my tackle box and my paddles at home. Most fishermen would have gone home sick. But not me . I caught one five pound jack and stayed at the beach untill my bait was swep in by the seaweed. Then I went home sick/. The next day I went north to fish a local beach and put out a jack and eel on one hook and two snapper on another.Young Mark the shark Resto had showed me that trick 
. 
Anyway back to the bull. My bait was out for thrity min when I got hit. I hit him with the running man and forgot my drag was hammered. He draged me down to the water before I could losen my drag . Got a quick measurement and she swam off strong and fast.Hope you like the story and pics. 
Big boy
Mark ,This one can't be beat.
J.D. do you have any pics? Ya you told me everything on the phone yesterday & today hope your finger is feeling better....
