Seas were about 2 feet and water clarity was nice. The red snappers were biting again along with a lot of trigger fish that were caught around the boat. I caught a few trigger fish and nice sea bass and my first Mangrove snapper of this year but they will increase in a few weeks.

Did you have to gouge his eye out Dwight!

Good for you Dwight!

Fortunately I live in an area where we can fish year round. Those gill plates are rather sharp without a glove so the eye socket works okay. This was the biggest of three that the FWC guy behind me tagged. He was on another boat a couple weeks ago and only 12 miles out and tagged 72. The numbers are coming back really well. We had a 3 day season last year so we are hoping for a few more days this year. We catch a lot of those red snappers on every trip now.

Whoa, nice fish.  Try shabu shabu style with that fish.  yum.

I like the steamed Chinese style with fresh ginger and shoyu this time of year.  I always try to have a whole Onaga, Paka, or Ehu for chinese new year.

We like the steamed fish as well as many other options. My wife is from Indonesia and she introduced me to steaming fish and I really like it.

Only one thing beats snapper fried in butter & that's grouper fried in butter
