After loading up on finger mullet and inspired by some of the other posters here I decided to hit the pass with my wife and 2 yr old. We stayed out from 0900-1200 and ended up w/ 2 blues/1 19" red and a 27" Gag Grouper (My best yet).



The funniest part of the day was when I put my rod down to check on another rod that was getting hit and I looked back and asked my wife several times, "where's my rod?", she just laughed and said "I don't know", I was on the beach so I started wading in the area were the rod was and I see a black ambassador 6000 cruising out in front of me. This rod was cruising, so I jumped after it. Happy just to see my rod and reel again, I started to reel in the line and the fish wash still on. I started to fight this fish and told my wife to get the net, but when I told her it was a Grouper she started running for it. After a valiant fight the fish was apprehended and as we speak it being cooked up by the chef.



Overall great Veterans day for a no so old Vet.

Were you on the beach or in a boat?

I was bayside off the shoreline, without going into specifics, I was very close to the pass.
