Got away for a couple days of hog hunting
Got a 200 lb Sow. First shot with my new bow.
Deer season is over but they never knew I was there.
It’s very dry right now. Creek at the gate almost completely dried up,
but still enough water for this big gator to hang out in
I’m guessing it’s 7 ft or so, maybe more, but I wasn’t about to try to put a tape measure to it

Finally got out after a couple days of bad weather
Still a little “sporty” so we stayed on the reef and fishing was good!

Went looking for another Wahoo in the morning, Hooked a big one but lost it.
Tried to get the afternoon trip in before the cold front got here, but we got out to the reef and got 3 lines out before it hit.
Blowing 30 and driving rain. Not what my customers wanted to fish in so we cut the day short and went in.
This is a panorama I took about 10 minutes before the weather hit.
Key West is somewhere under that black cloud about 5 miles away

Wahoo!
Big Barracuda Released
