Went on a charter fishing trip in the Gulf of Mexico. I had a great time and caught my personal best red snapper. In total we caught 42.

This was the biggest fish I caught except a few casts the line broke from a huge fish and we had probably 90 pound mono on so not anything light. This fish felt like a grouper I could barely keep the rod tip from going into the water

This was in Orlando Florida and all the other catches you see of me on the boat were in Florida especially if they were in June I’ve just been too lazy to upload them
