Off shore fishing trip!

[Bassboss]

All right! So my dad woke us up this morning at 6:30! He said we where gonna go on the off shore fishing on the drift boat! So me and my two bros got up got ready, and went out the door. Than went to the store, got some ice and drinks, and dove out and got on the boat! Before hand we had got some 1/2oz - 1 1/2oz to use so we could get out baits deeper and get some bigger fish! Once the skipper got us to the spot we tip out jigs with sardines, and bonita (aka bonny) strips down, we got the the bottom, and took a few cranks up; Started jigging. Other people where bringing bonnies up. After a while my older bro hooked into a small king fish, and the first king of the the day! They got the gaff and gaffed it, and put it in the cooler! After a while of us all catching bonny after the skipper moved us to another spot! At the spot I caught a nice mutton snapper with a jig/bonny stip combo! Other people started catching yellow tail snapper, but not us (too bad, probably the tastiest off all snapper) than the bite turned off and the skipper moved us on. My little bro put on a jig with a 15" bonny strip. dropped it down and started jigging! Not five minutes later you hear the zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz of the drag zipping! My little bro (age 8) gave to rod to my pops. And the thing was still shaking it's head and running, and soon later the spool was just bout out of line! My dad thought it was gonna be a but smoker king fish! 20 minutes into the fight we starting seeing color! 30min into it, it got close the boat and wudda know, it was a big 100lb + shark! It make one more run and snapped the line! After that we say saw some schooling rainbow runners, we didn't get any though, However my dad did hook one, but the hook came out!

Well that's boat it, here are some pics!
