This year there were several freedivers hunting in the rodeo. On my boat was GR Tarr, Sasa Bratic and Andy York. My buddies from the Big Easy, Marcel Garsaud, Kristen Shambauer, and Bill Crawford joined us in Port Eads.

The first day we went to the blue and saw dilphin, wahoo yellowfin tuna, blacfin tuna and a 1000#+ bluefin, as well as a nice blue marlin. Only a blackfin played by our rules and joined us for a boat ride.

Day 2 we hunted our way back to Mississippi starting at deep rigs(300-400') and working our way shallow. We shot huge mangrove(12#), large red snapper(to 24#), aj's(30-35#), cobia, tarpon, and so on.

3 potential world records were taken including Anderson's blackfin, Buill C huge 23#triple tail, and a monster mango taken by GR Tarr.

I am back to the grind of a charter captain and will post pics when I get more time.
