1st day down and got on the water 8:00 for a short day with storms moving in the afternoon. Just N of the inlet and found all the spanish you could put in the boat. Kept 18 to eat released a bunch in the 10" - 13" range and put some over sized blues for bait in live well. After 40 mins of mack's landing as many as 5 at a time the boys are ready to go look for Mr. AJ. A quick 15 min run to the fish haven to fish the blues and a couple of pin fish for what ever eats them. Second drift and something hits a blue near the surface and has the Torium 30 screaming. Stranded wire leader fails with 8-9# of drag and gets everyone excited about the mystery fish. Get everything rigged up and try it again. This time one of the Tekota 700's is getting ripped and gave my 7 year old (assisted) the rod. Fish is going deep so I assume this is an AJ. Let the 2 older brothers work on him before putting the 40# fish in the boat. Headed back in just before the 1:00 storm hit to clean fish, boat and prepare for dinner. Will report later as the week just started with success.

Nice job and those are some great smiles on those boys faces. Good job thanks for the report.

VooDoo

Pretty work, the smiles on those faces are priceless
