The wife wasn't feeling good today so I took my daughters trolling for a couple of hours this afternoon.  We were dragging stretch 25's near Pickens.  Around 4:00 my 15 year old step daughter finally got a true understanding of what I mean when I say the reel is singing.  It sounded off and the fight was on...  We got the bull right next to the boat and as I was pulling him out of the water the line popped.  The girls got to see the big bull red so it wasn't a real loss.  He did keep my brand new stretch 25 so if any of you guys catch him I want it back. JK...  Went ahead and pulled an old stretch out and got the lines back in the water.  About ten minutes later the singing started again.  This time I wasn't getting him to turn.  Finally he started coming my way and he gave up about 30 yards away...  I freaked when I noticed it was not a red but a gag grouper instead.  I did take any chances getting him in the boat.  Over all it was a great day.  I cooked dinner tonight and the wife is feeling great....

THe gag was around 28 inches and the recipe is nothing more than a little garlic, onions, chopped tomatos, and butter.

Hey yo, Heller High Water, Lemme tell ya bout this pinfish trap we have over  'round Gulf Breeze dockks... We get more baby gags in that as we do stone crabs!! Charlie caught a 'bout a 10in Gag in Naval Live Oaks, wading as we do. Obviously, these released fish were gorgeous and hopefully will grow huge for us soon....But they're "in the bay" At this spot!!

I have just have to spend some serious time fishing this winter. We catch em shallow, 4ft or so in Crystal River, but still waiting for one here. I spent a few hours throwing jigs for them on Sunday. Your guys stories keep me throwing.
