            Love the pics and the catch and release. My kids always want to release and try to catch them again when they are bigger. We do keep some for eating though. Hard to beat a good day fishing.

                      So far this week we have kept a couple of Bluefin Trevally and a Big Eye Trevally for food. A decent sized Giant Trevally is about 30 or 40 years old, killing one of those is really not a good thing.

                        I like your version of Thanksgiving…maybe you can turn it into an Iron Heart tradition?

                        The journey is the objective.

                          ^^ this is awesome. Nice to hear. Can’t bring myself to keep anymore fish.

                          Maybe so. Maybe not

                            A more than kind forum member, customer and friend gave me a few lures that have worked for him in the past.  I tied one on and voila, it worked for me too.

                            You know who you are and big thanks…..
