My 1st AmberJack!!
 
Well just got offshore today and wasn't much going on making our rounds and just checking everything off saw some fish playing around in the water so I grabbed my pole and threw out, while reeling in my diamond jig a hardtail hit it and got hooked then out of no where this dude nailed that hardtail and then it was strait drag pulling from there. After 15 minutes or so we pulled up my first amberjack and here it is...

That's a heckuva day at work there!

I guess my old saying of "Better than a good day at work," is now null and void!
