Of Permit and Kids


About two days back I get a call from Hawk's Cay Marina to take a dad and his 11 year old son out to catch a few fish on a half day charter. Any fish would have been good enough according to the father. We all know that kids are best kept happy by a lot of fish regardless of size......At least in theory right??
It turned ot that these intreped fisherman knew a thing or two and quickly caught on how things are done in the Florida Keys....

Well after a grunt or twenty and some snappers mixed in, the young man hooked into what we all thought was a big jack. The young man did all the right things and fought the fish with much gusto and landed a nice 5-6 pound Permit. The second permit was smart enough to find a sharp piece of rock and broke off.
The young man was very happy and dad was pleased too.
So was the guide btw.....
Tight lines!!
