Got biggest mango this year so far aboard the Pastime Princess. My good buddy Larry had a good day as well and the weather was just perfect.

Nice work!

Hell of a Mangosaureus Dwight!  That's one to be proud of!

Never seen one that big, nice Dewight.

Good Eats.I catch them free lining with the chum, or with 1/8~1/4 oz jig head and 20lb flouro leader. They come right to the top sometimes to feed we use spinning tackle, big fight when they head down.

Congrats Dwight.
This post is a week old and I just now saw it.
Always enjoy your pics.

We do it similar in the summer time with chum and light leaders and a small weight or no weight above the hook.

Joe said exactly what I was thinking. Sounds a lot like black fishin. Which in itself...is an art form. Dwight you are "dialed in" !!! Awesome catch and awesome fish. I hope someday to give this a go. Great report👍🏻👍🏻

Nice Mangrove! I wish I could catch as many as you do on hook and line. I used to spear a bunch though. You haven't lived until you've had a 24 inch mangrove bite your face and try to tear a hunk out of it like a bulldog.    They are good eating, keep it up.

Hmm I wondered why you only show the left side of your face.  Show us the scars.  If there are no scars it did not happen.     Dominick

Bill Dance kisses bass, doubt he would try to kiss a mango, they bite with purpose.

Dominick, No scars, but it did happen. It left two V's on my cheek with the teeth marks oozing blood. At least it wasn't something like a King Mackeral. If he hadn't finally calmed down enough to pry his jaws open with my knife he might still be there.
    I haven't ever been purty so no harm done. My dive buddies got a good laugh out of it at least. I cleaned him and put him on the grill that afternoon. He who bites last bites best!     Bob
