That’s Why They Call Them Kingfish!
Tim Hayes, along with his long separated buddies, spent the day aboard the “Mr. Z,” dodging the nasty ocean-side weather and (wisely) deciding to fish the Gulf of Mexico instead. We spent 6 hours with pretty much non-stop action on Barracuda, Mackerel, and Kingfish. All varieties of the Mackerel family were represented and put up a surprisingly challenging fight. And when they come in at just under 50 pounds, they can really test your mettle. Note that beast on the far left. ![]()
