Epic Battle!


I had the pleasure of fishing with Gerry Adams and his friends John and Ken last Friday; they were in town from all points of the USA: Philadelphia, Chicago, and Colorado. We got an early start and launched from the south end of Amelia Island. After one brief stop, we headed up to the Horsehead area and fished from the mouth of Jackstaff on up into the marsh. After a bend or two Gerry hooked up with a huge fish that took line down the river, up the river, under the boat, to the front of the boat, to the back of the boat --and then got off. Ouch. Well, that's just the way it goes. Although the "bite" for the rest of the day wasn't so great, we had a good time getting to know each other and seeing the sights of the marsh. The guys did get in a few Vermillion Snapper and a neat Ray. This picture shows Gerry fighting his big fish.
