Never caught this many Red Snapper ever in one sittting. Fish video showed no fish , just structure (ledge)!
What a rush to have a good trip and fish in a very low pressure area because of the distance. 243 miles round trip , 236.5 gallons of Diesel, 750 pounds of ice aboard. I carried 295 gallons of diesel, 4 big fish boxes, 2 full of fish to the top. Rest ice, 2 other food & drink coolers, bait cooler, frig in salon and lots of gear. No difference on performance of boat, Still 20 knots cruise and I checked WOT . Still 2950 with that load . I'm happy just used more fuel do to the extra weight. Over 2000 lbs extra

Now to rest up for another one shortly. Maybe some Peligics next time. I have never caught a "man in a blue suit" Maybe next time with some coaching. Cheers Dave K
