Rusty and Andria visit Key Largo and catch "largo" and "smallo" fish!

BNKJ friend Rusty Bramlett and his wife Andria enjoyed a wonderful day on the water about 16 miles out from Key Largo. Just a beautiful boat ride and perfect day for fishing!! 

Rusty and Andria found a good weed line, and then a couple floating timbers. They could see the fish -- "largo" and "smallo" -- circling the timbers/weeds and managed to hook up on three large Mahi. One of those they were able to get into the boat after a tough 45 minute fight using a 20# line on a spinning reel!  Take a look-- 

At the end of the day, the fishing duo had caught about a dozen smaller fish, and kept seven of them. Fish sandwich anyone? 

No seasickness on this smooth sailing trip!

Welcome first week of TROUT SEASON!

Tim Ramsey kicked off the first week of trout season on Soque River near Clarkesville, Georgia, and managed to catch several strikes on a wet fly using two BB size split shot with a dry fly indicator. 

Here's a picture of a really nice 16 inch rainbow Tim netted!

                   

               

So LONG fish!

This 41.5 inch long Northern Pike qualified
our good friend Matt Klidjian as a 

MANITOBA MASTER ANGLER!
Well deserved, Master Matt!

Northern Pike are measured by length rather than weight, and the fish pictured here was caught in Lake Comorant, Manitoba, Canada (about a 10 hour drive north of Winnipeg) on a Phlueger Supreme Spinning Reel.

What a great trip and a great fighting fish!

SWEET GEORGIA BROWN!

The bite on the Chattahoochee was slow this past Saturday, but Rusty Bramlett managed to catch this brown trout beauty and enjoy a sunny day on the Hooch. Nice one, Rusty!

It's spring... love is in the air!

Am I at Burger King because this one's a WHOPPER!

Look at this unbelievable WHOPPER, and that's no blow-up fish, folks!

This is our good friend Brian Corbett with CCG Advisors, proudly holding his best catch yet-- a REAL LIFE 41 POUND PERMIT caught by Brian while vacationing in Everglades National Park with his two sons this month.

The Corbett men had an amazing fishing adventure and much success with their Islamoradian Captain during their trip. They caught Mangrove Snapper, caul tipple and even a beautiful Cobia who got swallowed whole by a 500 pound Gag Grouper!  The boys went to town on a huge school of Tarpon too, going 4-6 ( boys 2-2 each, Dad 0-2!). 

Brian assures us that the Permit is going on his wall-- send us a pic of that too Brian!

Fish bonding moment...
