inshore went offshore with the rich and famous
 

Last weekend we attending the wedding of J.D. and Jill. J.D. is a mate on by buddy's boat, Testing the Water. So we went Friday and stayed at my buddy's (Pat) condo. The wedding was Saturday...nice. Sunday we went fishing on Testing the Water, a 68' Viking. :D:D

We fished out of Orange Beach, AL. Saturday we caught 22 Red Snapper, 2 AJ's and 2 Kings. It was so much fun that I took off Monday and we went back out. 26 red snapper and 7 white snapper.

Fishing for snapper in a 68' sportfisherman is, well let me just say, OFF THE CHAIN!

I am not sure how much fuel we burned but you know what they say, if you have to ask.............

I have a few pictures to post but having trouble so I will try again later.

the ride
 

Pat's boat, Testing the Water, is amazing. 68' long, 4 state rooms, 4800 HP, 2500 gallon of fuel. All the bells and whistles plus some.

What Marina does he keep her in? I will be in Orange Beach tomorrow and would like to put my eyes on her.

It is out fishing in the tournament put on by the Wharf. they will be in Saturday evening at the Wharf.

The Catch

Mna thats looks like a nice time!!!!!!!!!!!!

I need to go into the mower business!

Thats awesome!! I love seeing those LSU gold shirts being worn in alabama

Fin, he made it way before he went in the mower business. lol

a good friend of mne is fishing that tournament this weekend

Here's a pic of the boats getting ready to take off ... Talk about some money sitting there in this pic

I'd be happy to make friends with a guy in the mower bidniss....What's better than owning a boat? A friend that owns the boat! That is one fine ride! I've begged for a 3'X3' peice of shade on some summer days, I wouldn't know how to act if I could open a door and go sit in air conditioning for a while....WOW....

Fin, what boat is he on?

I'll take the boat with the air conditioned flying bridge, LOL

a couple of enclosed bridges in that picture. kind of takes the fun out of it though. ;)

those aren't yellow they're orange. lol but we are HUGE LSU fans. my youngest is a 2013 commit to play baseball for the tigers.

Lol, my bad. Congrats to your son, what an honor to watch your son play at alex box stadium.

Not 100% sure but if I had to guess the "BACKDOWN2"

damn..i wonder what the poor people were doing when you were out on that bad azz boat? lol

Thanks Hooper, it is! We are pumped and can't hardly wait.
