Quick Offshore Tripingo

[handi2]

We were going to the "Nipple" south west of Pensacola pass to troll for Wahoo and Mahi but there were thunderstorms in that area. We made a change of plans and went bottom bumping.

We got our Red Snapper and Mingo Snapper easily.

I had a newbie on the boat so I hooked him up with a live Mingo and had him send it down. He was using the Makaira 15 and one of Pinnacle Marine's spiral wrapped rods.

The fight was on and it took him a while to get the rod out of the rod holder. He's a big boy and a Marine but this fish had him sweating bullets.

Too bad we couldn't keep the fish as the season is closed.

Looks like an amberjack to me....

Well done getting those newbies in fish, that's what it's all about.
