Caught my 1st Snapper this morning about 10miles out from Pcola. 5 of us put 10 snaps, 27 mingo snaps, 2 big triggers, 1 decent grouper in the boat. My 1st off shore experience. Pretty fun stuff. Can't say I enjoyed the ride out.....or back in either. Big swells this AM. Fish were biting good though. All our reds were in the 25" and bigger range. Threw a ton of the 16"-20"back and had a ton of misses. Here's a pic of my 1st snap.It was thebiggest of the day.

You could run 10 miles out from the pass and still only be 4 miles offshore.

Never seen so many people that loved to stir the pot. Good snapper by the way.

We were NOT in Federal WatersI do know that.We had a2State Officers, one of which is my brother,on the boat fishing with us. I feel pretty confident thatNO lawbreaking was going on.

I can promise that when you seeany of my post you don't have to question the legality of how it was caught or harvested. I may be called many things but and "Outlaw" won't be one of them.

Nice snapper don't worry about defending some people don't know the difference between nautical and regular miles. don't fault them for their ignorance.

Nice snapper. Hell, I'm convinced you can't fish legal anymore.

Went and bought my Snapper venting tool ($26) my Snapper dehooker ($20)

my Snapper Defibrillator (in case one suffers heart trauma when hooked)

a set of Kevlar anti-Porpoise vests (to slip on the snapper upon release so Flipper can't eat him)

and a Snapper life-insurance policy in case he just doesn't make it, payable to the "man" so he can afford to enforce the keerazy regs.

Not saying you did any law breakin' but just complaining....

Dude, you forgot the waterproof bandages to put over the puncture wond from the venting tool

First or not, nice snapper my any means

That is the truth. Those dolphins were on those things almost as fast as they hit the water. We cheared them on as they went down but not many got by before becoming dolphin food. Had a cuda or two take a few out as well.

Found another pic without cutting the tail off.
