On our way out, @lauren.lila said that she always wanted to catch a Warsaw grouper… well… we made that dream became a reality!

On our way out to the Dry Tortugas we saw a guy in the distance waving his arm in distress. As we got closer, we realized that he was hanging onto a crab trap buoy to keep himself anchored so that he didn’t float away in the current. He lived on a sailboat in the distance and couldn’t make it back because of the wind and current. He let us know that he fell really bad and broke his ankle and that his boat broke down on his way to get help and has been stranded all night. We immediately towed him in safely and got him the help he needed. Just another reminder to us all to be safe and keep your eyes out while you’re boating.

You know what they say! There’s always bigger fish in the sea!
This Amber Jack decided he wanted our fish more than we did…turns out we caught them both instead ! 😂😂😂
What are you doing if this happens to you?!

Made dreams come true with this one. This Black Grouper thought he had us rocked up but my boy Josh Henrich had another plan for him! Only in the Dry Tortugas! #governmentshutdown #fishingtime #letsgetit
Big fish, little rods and yuggge smiles. That’s what you get down here in the Dry Tortugas! Black Grouper baby!
Check out this MASSIVE school of mullet that we found 70 miles offshore in the Dry Tortugas! At first, we thought it was a weed line off in the distance, but as it came closer, we saw fish jumping in it and immediately knew what it was! We caught a beautiful mutton snapper and hooked up on some other bottom fish under this. Unfortunately, there were no palagics around them, but nonetheless it was awesome to see all this life out there!

Ladies get it done! Tried out some new bottom on the @cmormaps and found ourselves a good one. This fish was caught one a @blackfin_rods with a Diawa Saltiga LD35JH jigging reel.

No wire needed!
This 72lb wahoo crushed our bait on pure fluorocarbon as we were slaying snapper, grouper, and so much more in the Dry Tortugas! At first we thought it was a big kingfish but as the fight neared the end, its unmistakable deep blue back and stripes down the side gave it away! What makes all of this even better is that it was caught by a female angler! Girls get it done!!! 💪

Name a fish that’s more greedy than a red grouper! These fish will eat anything! I still can’t believe that he was trying to eat our bait, even with food coming out of his mouth.

Consistency is key🔥🔥
Fun fact‼️
Did you know that Black Groupers are born female and can later transition to male as they mature, a trait known as protogynous hermaphroditism. This sex change often occurs when larger males are scarce in the population, ensuring reproductive success.

70lb BEAST on light tackle! As soon as this fish ate our bait, I immediately knew what it was as it was digging towards the bottom. When you catch a lot of big black grouper, there is a certain way that these fish fight that takes a special eye to see. Within about 10 seconds, we were rocked up and started working with this fish to beat him. With some Delph finesse and a little patience and persistence, we won the fight! No bent butt, no heavy tackle, no cheating, just a good ole fashioned fight with the king of the reef himself! 🔥💪

Warsaw grouper proposal!!! 🙌🎣
Congratulations to these two on getting engaged AND catching a fish of a lifetime! When the pressure is on to deliver an unforgettable fish for an unforgettable moment, we deliver every time!

Red snapper Season has been a huge hit this year! We’ve been crushing giants! Fun fact, American red snapper can live up to 57 years old AND single female can produce millions of eggs over her lifetime. Crazy!

What a story behind this giant!
We were on the hunt for big black grouper and eventually hooked into the right one. After a short fight, it ran us into the bottom and broke us off. Pain! Sadness! Many of you know that feeling all too well. With only one chance of getting this fish to bite we immediately took a whole mahi that we caught earlier in the day and sent it down. Before it even hit the bottom, BAM!!! After battling it away from the bottom with everything we had left, we put this stud of a fish in the boat! The same guy that hooked into this fish the first time came back with vengeance and sealed the deal the second time!

Now that’s what we call ✨HYPE✨!!! Congrats to these guys for catching this fish of a lifetime!

Cleaning up an epic Dry Tortugas slay day!
Congratulations to these boys on another Cubera Snapper with us! This fish hammered one of our first baits down on our light tackle @blackfin_rods set ups. After a long and rigorous fight, battling what we thought was an amberjack, this fat Cubera hit the surface and we sealed the deal for these gentlemen. When it comes down to catching world class fish on light tackle, nobody does it better!
Another day another fat Black Grouper. These guys wanted an epic fish to start a YouTube channel with and we delivered. That adrenaline always hits when these fish hit the deck. Drop a comment and name a fish that gets your adrenaline going like these fish do for us 👇👇👇
