    Hard to find these within sight of land :-)
    Never would have thought an Amberjack would win the wildcard division but this one paid $1000 or about 1/3 of our fuel. We were 180 miles from port or about 80 miles N/W of the Dry Tortugas. 100 lb AJ hooked 350' down KICKED MY ASS.

    we have something here in Florida that is often referred to as a split-tail . Although some of them can provide hours of quality entertainment they must be handled with extreme caution . Tag and release is generally considered the safest way to handle them as it has been documented on more than one occasion that trying to make a keeper out of the wrong one will cost you half of everything that you own .

    the only time I have ever had a tow was a 888 mercruiser broke the rotor button, we were up the river in our usual test track pre mobile phones and boat had no vhf to call the marina.
    Spent ages trying to make a rotor button and gave up, drifted to shore, walked back to the marina and got another boat.
    Fords should never be in boats

    Apparently. 30 miles only takes 25 mins at 80-90mph cruise

    Trips

    its crazy how shallow the gulf is. Around here it's like 1 mile out =1 ft deeper. It's still strange to me cause Where I grew up it's 100ft on the other side of the seawall. Gulf is the calmest sea in the US the lakes are rougher. I'm not complaining I've been 6 miles out in my 18ft tunnel boat cruising at 70
