Those pictures makes me want to get out in the garage and start working on that 200 Johnson that needs rebuilding. Been four months since my last trip and now I'm heading for the toolbox.

What an awesome day, it's to bad you didn't get any keepers but that doesn't matter. We're hopefully going out on Friday and I hope it turns out like that. Again, good job and awesome report.

Nothin like being out there alone! Wonderful quiet time. If you ever need a partner holler! I'm always game, and I am SURE you won't have any trouble finding a buddy to go around all these guys. Congrats on an awesome day.

Really sweet pics of your ride back in.

Good for you. I don't know how many times I have wussed out on what could be the best fishing ever cause I didn't have someone to go with me. I bet just knowing that you did it all by yourself was as good of a feeling as actually catching the fish huh. Rock on.

I am very much a 'family man' and really enjoy it when my wife and/or boys go with me. Most of the time I spend a good bit of the time helping them with landing a fish or re-rigging their pole...and I really enjoy it because we're spending time together. But I think it is good to have some 'alone' time now and then and this was one of them. After I got home and showed them the pictures, I got the feeling that they won't let me go out alone again. And you are almost right...the feeling of accomplishment was almost as good as the "tug-a-wars" me and them fish had.

Not bad for an ole Meridian boy!!! Congrats...I am amazed that you have only been doing this for a year. I gotta get a boat!!

Sounds like you had a great time. Too bad you didnt get any legal ajs, maybe next time. Congrats on your first arguably successful fishing trip alone.

Congrats man! I grew up playing in the fresh water so I had no idea what I was missing. luckily I hooked up with a great bunch of guys (Team Recess)and all I've thought about is learning the game since. Keep it up and keep posting!

Thanks for the great report. Have been out alone before and understand a lot of the "firsts" that occur with that. My wife usually like to fish with me too, but sometimes is not available. I fish out of Perdido Key and have a Ranger 2300 with Yamaha 225 4 stroke. If you ever want to go out in the GOM and need a buddy boat send me a note.
