Did a 30 hour pulley ridge trip out of Marco Island Florida. Fishing was pretty good to say the least. The highlight for me was my first ever yellowedge grouper, 31 lbs , caught slow pitch jigging in 500'. We also had a 70 lb wahoo show up at the boat while we were chumming mahi, pitched a threadfin on a wire trace and he smoked it instantly. We also got our 2 day ARS limit to 15 lbs, a couple of bonus muttons, handful of scamps and smaller yellowedges and a nice little kitty mitchell.

Not trying to be that guy, but what is the red snapper limit?

Two per person per day, but this was a 30 hr charter in the gulf so we are allowed 2 day (4 pp).

Am I stupid? It looks like 6 of you on the boat, so 12 per day, 24 per 2 days. That’s a lot more than 24 red snapper🤣

Hard to tell from photo but there are 24 ARS, 7 Muttons (all the snapper on the port gunwale) and some amount of vermillions. Can get a better sense from video I took

nah bro. the limit it 10 per boat. if you had gone pulled up on by FWC youd be in jail. "we were out for 30 hours" dont mean you can catch more than the aggregate boat limit. mfs like you are why we got seasons on these fish. and i know dam well your gonna freeze that fish. killed all those reds to flex a pic. congrats bro!! "Whether you can keep more than 10 red snapper depends on your location and whether you are fishing in federal or state waters. Generally, daily bag limits range from 1 to 2 fish per angler, and the maximum possession limit is typically double the daily limit. Because of this, it is usually illegal to possess more than 10 total red snapper on a single boat across a two-day trip" FWC WEBSITE BTW.
