| Caught my 1st Snapper this morning about 10miles out from Pcola. 5 of us put 10 snaps, 27 mingo snaps, 2 big triggers, 1 decent grouper in the boat. My 1st off shore experience. Pretty fun stuff. Can't say I enjoyed the ride out.....or back in either. Big swells this AM. Fish were biting good though. All our reds were in the 25" and bigger range. Threw a ton of the 16"-20" back and had a ton of misses. Here's a pic of my 1st snap. It was the biggest of the day.

whalersailor (5/4/2008) Please explain the 10 miles out? Snapper season is closed until June 1 in federal waters beyond 9 NM.
You could run 10 miles out from the pass and still only be 4 miles offshore.

| We were NOT in Federal Waters I do know that. We had a 2 State Officers, one of which is my brother, on the boat fishing with us. I feel pretty confident that NO law breaking was going on. I can promise that when you see any of my post you don't have to question the legality of how it was caught or harvested. I may be called many things but and "Outlaw" won't be one of them.

Nice snapper don't worry about defending some people don't know the difference between nautical and regular miles. don't fault them for their ignorance.

| Nice snapper. Hell, I'm convinced you can't fish legal anymore. Went and bought my Snapper venting tool ($26) my Snapper dehooker ($20) my Snapper Defibrillator (in case one suffers heart trauma when hooked) a set of Kevlar anti-Porpoise vests (to slip on the snapper upon release so Flipper can't eat him) and a Snapper life-insurance policy in case he just doesn't make it, payable to the "man" so he can afford to enforce the keerazy regs. Not saying you did any law breakin' but just complaining....

a set of Kevlar anti-Porpoise vests (to slip on the snapper upon release so Flipper can't eat him) That is the truth. Those dolphins were on those things almost as fast as they hit the water. We cheared them on as they went down but not many got by before becoming dolphin food. Had a cuda or two take a few out as well. Found another pic without cutting the tail off.

Nice Snapper...  Like I've said before, and I'll say it again. Flipper will eat when hungry and I'd just as soon have him eat the returns then gather (legal size) when he wants. I say fill him up on the returns and hope he is satisfied and leaves the big ones for us. Flipper will eat no more then what he is eating weather we return shorts or not.

Please explain the 10 miles out? Snapper season is closed until June 1 in federal waters beyond 9 NM. Or is this a troll using a photo shopped pic? Look if you are not going to congratulate someone dont say anything at all. Didn't your parents teach you anything? If someone is outside 9 miles let them worry about it, if it makes you jealous or mad then dont look at it. Try this, it will save you from looking like a JACKASS..

| Kinda heightens the challenge when those Dolphin start raping you! Sounds like a great time out! I have no doubts at all about you're being legal! Don't worry about all the ones that wish it was them out catching them instead of you! Great job! and I hope you have fun next time too! Tight lines!

Well done! Keep up the great work. You will find that if you keep fishin'
& being successful, someone will almost, always find something to complain
about! Usually their just wishin' it was them filling the successful report.
Blue skies, fair winds, calm seas & good fishing!

I say capture and punish the dolphins for consuming illegal snapper. Make them do time at a Gulfariam where they will have to do tricks for old frozen mackeral. If after they serve their term they continue to eat illegal snapper....shoot them.

Ooops, I am off to the pharmacy to get my meds refilled. If I offended anyone during the past 18 hours, I sincerely apologize. I will be better in about an hour when the double dose takes effect. Damn, I have to remember to call in those refills before the weekends.  Take the whole bottle PRICK.
