| This is more of a fishing than a diving report, but we did both so here goes: Got out today on my new wife for the next 3 years (26 ft. pursuit) with my Dad and fishing buddy Nick. Nick and I did a little diving and shooting while dad bubble watched and fished, then we all fished. Not much to repoert on the diving side except we were in deep water with excellent conditions. Beatiful 80+ viz after you dropped down past 30 ft. and little to no current. Made a dive, not much to shoot except a little 17 in red snapper. Came up to 2 fish on, dad fighting a big king on the flyline and a bobo on the bottom rig. Lost the king, moved on. Fished some more, and then we found snapper heaven. Limited out the remaining 5 fish as fast as we could bait the hooks. All 10 lb. plus snapper. I caught my personal best snapper pictured below, a real hog. Don't have a scale, but feels about 25 lbs. We left them biting due to the fact we wanted to make a dive and we were limited out and didn't want to hurt any fish unecessarily. Nothing to shoot except big sows on the dive, which we let swim since we already had them in the boat. All in all a great day spent with dad and the new (to me) boat. We are blessed to be alive and in beautiful pensacola.

Nice! Wanted to say thanks for waiting for us on the early drop Saturday morning! I had just tied in for Clay when you guys pulled up out there. Glad you got on the fish and thanks again for giving us the time to try and shoot a big 'un! That Pursuit was looking good!

Man...we got schooled! Clay shot a nice AJ and Mickey shot a bigger AJ that cut him off!  Mick shot about a 25-30lb gag that deflected his shaft with his head! We had a blast but no winning fish. The 'Bama Boys' brought their 'A' game and really put on a show! Oh, have Clay tell you about being acknowledged as the "Chunky Love" by the Coast Guard over the radio!
