Hey Folks,

Kris and I just got back from a little fishing trip in Key West. Here are some photos of our fun.
Image
The hook up.

Image
The chase. Capt. Tim Carlile at the helm.

Image
Twenty minutes later, still some fight left.

Image
Landed!

Image
The victory photo.

Image
Tim says,
"This is how you pose with a fish!".
He's right, it does look better.

Image
It begins again...

Image
A nice jump at the end of the first run (note the small white dot in the distance).

My fish took one big run, and then fought for only about twenty minutes. Kris' fish fought her for over and hour and a half. Unfortunately, it broke off just before she could land it.

Enjoy,
Tom

Nice pix, Tom, but I'd consider a "landed!" photo more convincing if it were taken on the dock! (hehehehe)

Seriously, though, looks like you had some fantastic weather for the trip. Would you mind bringing some of that sunshine home with you to share?!
