stopped by Bob Sykes and caught grunts at 10pm for bait and once we filled out little bucket we headed out to ft pickens. We walked to the pass and set up 7 rods with cut grunts and shrimp....after an hour of freezing we were about to call it quits when our rod went off...5 min into the fight another rod went off so we were both hooked up...first fish was brought in measure out at 50":bowdown i tried getting a pick while i had one hand on my rod with the second fish on and the other holding my camera just to find that sand had clogged the lens so we didnt get any pics! :banghead :reallycryingfumbling around with the camera another rod went off...my brother was still getting the hook out of his monster red and i was holding two rods both with fish on the end...brought in the first fish..lightend the drag on the other and put it back in the rod holder...my brother released both reds, then i brought in the third fish....the two i brought in were both 40+ inches :hoppingmad action was steady until about 1:45am...after we landed and released 5 more bull reds... one was 29 inches, the rest were over 36...we decided we had had enough fun...couldnt have been colder tho!!!! but glad we braved freezing our asses off :hoppingmad really wish i had some :takephoto:takephoto:takephoto
