The Permit was one of the strongest fish I've ever shot. The AP was not as bad, however I shot a few 50 pound class AJ and those can be a bear to get up. For both the AP and Permit and tried to make sure I had good holding shots as the angles they presented me did not increase my percentage for a stone shot. They both held and did not bend a spear, which was a bit surprising.

Got this one a few hours ago. Emil and I went out for a looksie and scored a few fish, including this one. Emil nailed two of them today. We also got 8 lobsters and I shot two mackerals to round out the cooler. Found this nice anchor just off the wreck we were diving. It is in mint condition and must not have been there too long ago. With the exception of a 3 knot current, conditions were great today. Viz was top to bottom on both spots we went to, but again we had to tie ropes off anchors and had a few merman lines to help us stay above the structure. Out at 9 and in by 1pm...doesn't get much better.

...a few weeks ago. Took me over a week for my friend, Jason, to send me the pictures. We went out a few inlets north of Martin County. We put a good whopping on some of the local fish population with some challenging conditions. I wish visibility was half of what it usually is down south. We were diving a few spots in the 70-80' range and had clear water for the first 25 feet, beneath this there was a layer of potaje with maybe five feet and an upwelling in the low 70s...burrrrr. The current was also ripping, so we marked the spot with some jugs and drift dove over them and did it again and again after boat would pick us up down current. Alright enough on the conditions:boohoo:.
I shot these pictured here along with two cobias one 35# and the other 28#. We did not take too many pictures, but here are a few. One of the guys screwed up some of the nice out of water Permit pictures as he was hitting the wrong button on the camera. We also landed a few nice mangroves in the murk among the Goliaths, but we did not picture those. Enjoy.
African Pompano went 35#
Permit went 40#
And Kingfish was 35 gutted, so I'm going with 40 pounds...
