| 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.

| Got me a boat about 6 weeks ago-went to Orange Beach for a week on vacation-had some Grouper for the first while I was there-fell in love with it. After eating it, I felt like crying!!! Why, you ask? Because of all of the years that I could've been eating me some Grouper, that's why! That is one BIG fish. How long did it take you to land him?

| Congrates Earl Way to go Duke. You defintely deserved that one buddy. I look foward to our future fishing trips. I heard so many good things about you before we met and could not believe they could all be true. But, after being on the boat with you for a few hours, the rumors were an understatement. You were nothing short of first class. You are welcome on my boat anytime. Great fish for a great guy and fisherman.

Mr. Earl,
I,ve been after that fish for three years. I sure am proud of you for catching him. I was hoping it would be a big Gag. It's sure been agrivating to fish that spot and get my butt kicked over and over. Well from now on, when a good'n gets away, I'll just put "The Duke" on 'em. Congratulations on a fish of a lifetime.
Your friend, Captain Roger Fulford
