Year is starting out totally stupid.

A 41 pound Blackfin tuna. New state record

A 140 pound Amberjack. New state record

The fishing is heating up! 2017 is just beginning. Wish I could transfer pictures. You can see on THT in the Gulf Coast section. Maybe somebody with more computer skills can get a picture of these monsters.

These fish were caught in Venice. I had nothing to do with these fish just passing on interesting info to melt the ice up there. Keep the stoves cranked up. Spring is coming.

Fishing is not a matter of life or death. It's more important than that.

That amberjack is HUGE. God only knows how they got that out of rig and up...... Those things fight hard!

A 50 pounder will give you all the fight you can handle. I have gotten a few in the 80's but 87 was my biggest.

My biggest blackfin was 34.6. It was a monster and if I had recorded it would be 5 or 6 in the state.

You don't have to worry about passing on info to melt the ice...ice never froze up here...at least not in New London County lol. Nice post.
