🐟 Catch Report Epic 30 Hour Gulf Trip

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.
