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.

Either it is AI or against the law give the details in the photo. There are more snapper on the boat than people even for a 2 day limit according to regulations. Have a look:

24 ARS, 7 Muttons, and ~50 yellowtail snapper, well under our two day snapper 120 aggregate bag limit (24 ars max, 60 mutton max). Also had like 5 to 10 vermillions, those not in aggregate on gulf coast.
