On Saturday, 45 miles out, hooked up and landed a 72# Warsaw, my largest griuper of my lifetime.  Had fun and was a great catch for our team who were a part of catching this hugh fish. Capt. Rog' on Capt. Delynn's 24 foot Cape Horn-- Ms. Ida --helped put this fish in the boat after putting us on the spot! We were fishing the Capt. Paul Redman's  RFRA Tournament. Weighted the fish but it was not a part of the tournament. Took first place in the Red Snapper Division and other species we placed in. It was a great tournament and we all enjoyed. Here are some pics:

Where's my sandwhiches Duke?

I weighed that pig, it felt a little heavier than 72 when I was elbow-deep in it's gill plates.

Congrats Earle. That's a fish of a lifetime.

It's your future

Great fish Earle. He never had a chance with "The Duke" on the other end. PEL
