What do you do when the Crappie ain't biting and wifey needs a vacation, you go to Key West, and go fishing!

Well that's not 100% true. Wifey actually had a vacation planned to go to Key West with Tomtom and his wifey. Turned out they traded around for a stay there with one of those time share thingies I never understood. I may not understand time shares, but I understand vacationing......

The fishing was crazy. We actually caught tons more than pictured here. It was a shared charter, only four people total, and we kept only what we said we would want to eat. The rest we released. Every time down with the bait, if you were not getting hits and catching a fish, they had taken your bait. It was every time down. You could not fish fast enough. Some of them were pretty big and fought like heck. Once I hit, and almost lost the rod out of my hand. It was some fast action for sure.

And then we did a Up2Specks move. We bought the fish to a restaurant and had them prepare it three different ways for us. It was so good. mmmmgood
