Two days, three citations and an ANGEL SHARK

Cobia, Red drum, and Flounder
Sunday the 2nd, Robin, Captain Mark Wray, and I set up chumming on the shoals at 6:30 am with visions of big cobia. Turns out, our first drag-screamer was a nice 47-inch citation red drum. We continued to boat big reds until the tide turned, and then boated a few more! We finally landed a citation cobia later in the afternoon. It was smoldering during the middle of the day when the wind died. Final citation count: 6 Reds, 1 cobia

Tuesday the 4th, the same crew headed out for flounder. Using live bait over structure, on the first drop, I pulled in a nice 9-pound flatfish. We managed a few more keepers, but the most interesting catch was what Mark thought was a world record flounder. As it came to net, it turned out to be a fish we had never seen before. The fish was about four feet long and 3 feet wide. It was brown, had wings like a skate, and a mouth full of wicked teeth. It was the meanest fish I had ever seen! As the mystery fish lay on the deck, it proceeded to lunge and snap at everything in reach. We were a hilarious site jumping and prancing to avoid the razor sharp teeth of the enraged animal. It chased Robin clear up onto the gunwale! We agreed it must be some sort of shark, and released it. I looked it up on the internet, and it turned out to be an angel shark, which is a protected species. cool.gif

I didn't think the Angel Shark AKA Monkfish were protected. It's been a while, but I used to get filets from the grocery and is really good. It's meat is also known as the poor man's lobster. I know it used to be used in immitation lobster or crab.

Although I noticed another name for the angel shark was a monkfish on one site, I don't think it is the monkfish you are thinking of. This looked different...although monkfish are pretty ugly!

ah, that might be it. The two are equally ranked on the ugly scale. That's for sure

Although I don't normally read apost multiple time (after I have seen the fish), when I saw that Capn' Fatbeard re[plied, I had to read to see what kind of salty comments he would make.

You guys are wearing different outfits in the photos. I got it first time. I always wear the same outfit 2 days in a row. That way I smell fishy. bath.gif

Man! It was the clothes that had me questioning, but I apparently missed the obvious mention of its being two days out. You guys make a fine team and I know your capable of that and more in a single outing, but I love some controversy. I definitely change clothes after a day of chunking, so I should have spent more time reading what you wrote, and less time reading into those pics. My apologies.

I passed on wearing the same clothes every day a few years back...but I have buddies who still do...stinky!!

It's all good! Screaming drags to all!! fishing2.gif
