Just one of the many that never got away on our trip to the Florida Keys just 2 weeks ago ( seems longer

)
The fish is called a Permit quite hard to catch so i'm told

The Permit is a large cousin of the Pompano which are more plentiful and excellent eating. As you say they are quite rare - what did it weigh? and what bait were you using?

The Permit was caught on crab, it weighed about 12lbs, below just a couple more

A 450lb Jewfish, my dad and brother

A 60lb Amberjack could hardly lift this one as i had pulled it up through 200 ft of water and my arms had turned to jelly
We had a brilliant experience all in all we caught about 20 different species inc a nurse shark weighing about 600lbs, i also had a Sailfish on which stripped about 300yds of line off the reel in the first run but alas never managed to land it.
We hope to make this an annual event
