Dry Tortugas '09 - Lorenzo's monster mutton snapper

[BawlinOnaBudget]

Don't really have to go to Dry tortugas to get into some mutton action like that. Far from a monster, still a nice fish... Tortugas monster muttons are in the 20lb range. In addition, when you gaff put the pole on the fish head and pull back. Gaffing a fish in stomach makes the meat spoil quicker. A fish of that size should be netted or gilled into the boat.

These guys should book a trip on the Fish Finder. I was out with them November tenth and wound up with 11 muttons 8-15 lbs, a 35 lb blackie and a 12 lb scamp. not to mention a couple of decent kings and a jumbo jolthead. I'll be on board the 'Finder sometime in late April or may.
