Epic day cathching TripleTail in Florida Bay

We had an awesome time catching tripletails a few days ago with my dad and our friend Capt. Bill Bassett.  Lots of free floaters.  We don’t normally keep this much fish, but with many hungry people to feed in town we decided to keep our limit of these great eating fish.
