My brothers took Decoy out to try for tuna and wahoo last week (while I was having knee surgery). The wahoo and tuna did not cooperate, but the jacks did. Here are a few pictures from the trip:
Forget dem AJ's, I want what Jr is holding at the cleaning table in the 4th picture. Nice work guys, anybody's arm's hurt after playing with those AJ's.

Thanks guys. The kids had a blast. Face, that's whiskey, not beer. We start em out right down here. Harry, Decoy is back here in New Orleans, so if you're ever coming to town, please call and we'll go drink some whiskey (or beer) on Lake Pontchartrain. Bob, the fish in the last picture is a Scamp. It's in the grouper family and great to eat. They caught several Crevalle Jack too. Great fighters, but inedible. Here's a picture of one with a frenzy angry jig hanging from it's lip (They caught the grouper on a Frenzy Angry jig too; great lure) :
Here's a picture of an Almico Jack. These are good to eat too, but they do not get as big as amberjack:
Jack,
How's the knee coming along, the kids looked like they had a ball. Do the physical therapy. I know what knee surgery is after 15 operations, good luck.
Jack, Caught a few scamp with Harry on the Necessity, great eatin fish, caught a almaco jack as well...they pull all the way to the boat...The kids faces are worth the trip...BH

Thanks, I had a Meniscus tear and it's doing well. Going in for 2 to 3 hours of therapy a day. That's amazing that you have been in for so many surgery's! How did you injure your knee?
