Strong Finish with some epic fish!

Had a group of 4 guys who met me at pineland at 6AM. We procured a bunch of pinfish and misc other baits before heading off into the blue.  Two hours later pulled back the throttles on the Salty Beast as we arrived at our destintion.  The sounder lit up like an xmas tree and we set up for our drifts.  The water was flat calm, and very little tidal flow. Baits went down and the bite was decent... nothing on crazy fire this trip, and in fact not as busy as you would  expect with the screen looking the way it did.  We picked up a legal red snapper on just about every drift not keeping anything under 20" We had some VERY LArge hits that unfortunately got the best us. We were kind of stuck at 7 nice red snapper towards the end of the trip, and with an hour or so left before needing to make the run back, made a quick move.  
IT was 100% the right decision.  Over the next 45 minutes, we boxed some trophy size fish.  First was a solid 37" Black Grouper who inhaled a pinfish.  Next was a Gag just short of the 30" Mark. Next was a solid and our largest red snapper of the day.  And in the closing minutes, a 24" Red Grouper was added to the box.  It was a great flury of action. ​
