I decided to go for a quickie last night right at dark and took my brother in law for his first gigging experience. We fished for about 2 hours and saw a total of 3 fish. He missed the first fish that we saw around 5:45, which was unfortunately the biggest one of the night  but we found 2 more real nice fish, 21.5" and 23.5". They weighed on my hand scale just under 4.5 and just over 6 lbs as both were real fat fish. 
I have not talked to anyone who fished after the tide started going out, hopefully the fish started moving a little bit better later last night.

I actually got a real good look at it (I don't know how he missed this fish) and it was probably a good 1.5-2 lbs bigger. I would say a good inch to an inch and a half longer but it's tough to say how thick it was. I talked to a few buddies of mine who went last night around the same time and they all seemed to have similar results, 2-3 large fish each and nothing else. Maybe they will show up in good numbers soon. One thing I also noticed was the lack of mullet last night. I saw just a handfull whereas previous nights we have seen hundreds. I think a lot a the roe mullet have made their way to the gulf.

Chris, I don't think he was that big but he (she) was a pretty good one. That fish seems to get bigger every year!
