Adventure number two began with catching live bait and then heading to the old stomping grounds of where Paul caught his Sailfish about a year ago. No luck with Sails this time but the lines were a screaming quickly as less than 15 minutes into the trip everyone had caught at least one fish and Kimberly began to stake her claim on the Most Valuable Fisher Award. The snapper and grouper were biting everything in about 70' of water. I then made the decision to go for the big fish so we moved north of the inlet in 150' of water and then Kim caught the smoker King that tipped the scales at around 27lbs and barely fit in the cooler after bending and twisting. It was at this time LVF was born. Luke for whatever reason had some trouble getting the grippers on the King and created a murder scene instantly when the beast began to shake and spray blood. After that the action began to slow as the current and tide went slack and clouds started to move in from the west. We tried trolling for a bit but did not have any luck other than a bonito that Luke managed to get in. Another great day on the water with excellent conditions until mid morning.
