Rusty's Florida Fishing Trip

Our good friend Rusty Bramlett shared his beautiful view and catches from Steinhatchee, Florida with us. The residents there are still rebuilding after the flooding from Hermine, but luckily the flats and marsh didn't suffer very much damage at all!  Rusty, you are making us all want to hit salt water soon!

Check out this video of master fisherman Chris Clayton!

Watch this video to see our own Chris Clayton (yes, that's him!) prove to a fish who's boss!  We don't see the fish in the video but we believe you won that fight, Chris.

40 pound fisherman catches 100 pound fish!

This six year old is a fine fisherman! Can't wait to see what he catches next time!

Dogs can fish too!

There's a New Fisherwoman in Town!

Thank you Christina for sharing this warm memory of your very first fishing trip ever -- beautiful 7 pound bass caught in the gorgeous Georgia sunshine!!

LOOK at the SNOOK!

BNKJ's own Kevin Hendren hooked this nice lookin' Snook while fly fishin' in beautiful Naples, Florida with an 8-weight rod.

Kevin swears he let a "much bigger one" get away!! (Hmmm... Kev, we've never heard a fisherman say THAT before now :).)

Happy summertime fishing to all!

Fishing in the Beautiful Florida Everglades

Chris Esslinger and his son enjoyed a beautiful couple of days fishing in the Florida Everglades with some pretty heavy weight fly rods. Look at what came out of the water!

Take this one to the French Quarter!

Our good friend and client Scott Dozier caught this gorgeous 36 pound Black Drum in the Gulf near New Orleans. Scott, I hope you took this guy to the parade afterwards-- what a catch to show your friends!

Laissez le bon temps rouler!

Hilton Head Fish-A-Palooza!

Dave Chambless of Abraxas Business Services joined Chris Clayton, Ross Mackenzie and Kevin Hendren in Hilton Head last week and came back with many "tails." Many fish were caught. Many Bloody Marys were poured. See for yourself!

Admiral Chris Clayton shows off a monster bull red!

It's a cold day at sea, right Kevin?! He says it's always

important to take care of his delicate skin!

Not to be outdone, Ross lands this bull red fish!

Our intrepid crew searches for the great white whale that took Chris' leg.

Admiral Clayton fighting a bull shark-- get him, Chris!

Bloody Marys, sunshine, water and a nap go really well together!

This one almost got away!

Like the hat, Ross!

Time to rest!

Cats do love chicken liver!

Check out this 29 inch, 21 pound blue cat that BNKJ's own Jerrod Ball caught in Carrollton, Georgia using good ol' fashioned chicken livers for bait.

MEOW!

Fishin' at Lake Sinclair

That's Kevin's "big" catch of the day

(it's not the bait). Love that proud grin!

Fishing for a Cause Tastes Good!

Rusty Bramlett and friends took a road trip to Steinhatchee a few weeks back to attend a Wounded Warriors' benefit. They headed out on the boat early ready for a day of fishing. Rusty and his crew had trouble finding redfish and trout, but WOW the Cobia and Kings were takin' the bait and filled the cooler!

Holy King Mackerel-- that's a lot of fish!

This beautiful Cobia is a whopping 43 inches long!

This black Cobia -- another keeper -- is 36 inches!

Rusty succeeds in landing a redfish during the trip.

Nothing like fresh fish from the grill with homemade ceviche!

After a day on the water, Rusty and friends relaxed to live music from The Kentucky Headhunters at The Good Time Hotel & Marina.  Rusty, thank you for sharing the before and after shots. Hungry anyone?

Fun Fishing in Hilton Head!

Brock Patterson and Jeff Stokes -- our friends at US Trust -- joined BNKJ's own Chris Clayton, Kevin Hendren and Ross Mackenzie for a fishing trip in Hilton Head. No one came back empty handed!!

The guys tell all of us back home that what happens in Hilton Head stays in Hilton Head (what is with all the MONKEY jokes guys???), but they did share these great photos just to make us wish we had been there. Check out the great catches!!

 Brock proudly shows off his 30 pound Redfish. (Hey fish why are you BLUSHING!). Nice one!!

Kevin shows off his pride and joy of the trip-- a 28 pound Redfish!! 

Chris, are you in there??? Nice speckled trout!

Ross and Chris-- umm... is it cold in Hilton Head? 

Ahhhh... the beach is awesome any time of year!!!
