We had to ride out a ways to catch live bait. One the way to the baiting location we just took it easy and enjoyed the ride. It was a little chilling this morning. The water was very calm.
Here is George, the first mate, throwing the net out to catch our live bait. It took a several tries and a few different locations. Finally after hitting the right spot and getting at least 60 little fish for bait, we were off to fish. 
We caught several grouper, red snapper, and blue fish. We were catching fish left and right. 
Scot and his huge grouper. Unfortunately, we could not keep any of the grouper even though Dad & Mom really wanted to.
Scot and I caught red snapper at the same time. Notice who caught the bigger one, that is right....ME!! 
Scot's was able to catch 2 King fish.

Dad caught a whopper, Cobia. He had to fight the fish for 30 minutes and was able to get it in the boat off a light tackle fishing line. When they got the fish on the boat, George hit the fish a few times in the head with a metal bat to kill it. The Cobia weighed in at 60 pounds! What an AWESOME catch! Way to go Dad!!!
On the way out of the marina we seen the boat below. Per Jodi, the owner had it anchored out there and when it was low tide the boat flipped to its side and a window broke and water came in and the boat has been there for the past two years. They believe the boat owner did no have insurance on it and just left it. 
When we got back to the Marina, they hung the Cobia up for display. There were many people that stopped by to check out the big catch the of day. Many people took their own picture next to the cobia, wishing it was theirs. Jodi cleaned all the fish for us.
