left ICM around 6:15 and headed South East. Stopped at our fist stop 35 miles out and On the first drift had 3 keeper snapper in the boat. Boated over half of our 4 man limit and moved to our next stop. Finished off our limited and it was time to play. Headed to a area where I have been seeing Wahoo and put the baits in the water. It didn't take long and we had several kings in the boat. Started our next run and the reel starts singing must have peeled off 300 yards on the first run. Put the motors in gear and the chase was on. After 30+ minutes we got our first look at the monster. Stuck the gaff in him and had to get help to pull him in the boat. Got back around 4:30 and put him on the scale at 95#'s. Can't wait till the weekend and head back out.

Swweeet. Hoo! Can't wait to get back out. Might make it Thursday. Which rod you got on that Avet, I got the same reel. Same color. Looks like about 7' 30#...?

 

[TOP FLIGHT]

What Ono Loco said too! Too bad you didn't get that 95#er next weekend in the Watermelon.

 

[Crossroads]

Yep, that's a mighty nice fish. I'd say that is a boat record and likely will not be broken.
