A pretty day in the gulf today. Caught one 30" gag and a few triggers. Almost had a two grouper day except for tackle failure. The second grouper was all but in the boat. Then, about ten feet from the boat the hook gives up the ghost. It was an eagle claw 7/0 circle hook and for some reason it snapped in two. It was the same hook that put the first grouper in the boat. I think I am going to stick to mustad circles from now on. They have always been dependable. Menhaden produced the grouper in the boat but white snapper got my other big bites. I fished natural bottom all day. Was really slick until the southwest wind kicked up about three o'clock. Also caught plenty of chunky red snappers. Looked for cigar minnows but couldn't come up with any. The water in the pass was pretty nasty this morning.

Thats a nice Gag. To bad about the hook failure but a nice Grouper and some Triggers makes for one hell of a meal.
