Scott La Ganga and family returned for some great reef fishing again this May and came back with one heck of a Mutton Snapper!  We were running with the deep trolls on the reef in about 12 feet of water when the 50 wide began to sing.  Capt. Steve and I assumed it was another Barracuda, since we had caught so many that morning, but when I could start to see a little bit of pink color I got very excited.  “It’s either a very ‘Key West’ style Barracuda, or we’ve got dinner for 12!” I shouted.

Along with a double header Yellowtail Snapper and a huge Mangrove Snapper (Yes, all were caught trolling!) made for a Snapper Grand Slam!

Key West fishing is like a box of chocolates…  you just never know what you’re gonna catch!
