Default monster lauderdale Golden

Hey All it has been a while but have been busy with work and family for the past couple months and have not been fishing. Anyway calendar was clear for Sunday and weather was permitting so I headed out on Reel Lies to do some for Swords. Half way out Paul says hey lets try for tiles. First drop lots of hits, second drop more hits, third drop something good on. Keep fish is still fighting good stops the and the rod doubles over. We are thinking what the hell do we have, keep getting close now lots of weight on the line and the reel stops again for second and doubles over again, I say we might need the gaff Paul gets ready we see color well its big and this is what we killed 25 pound golden tile

Took a couple pics at Pauls house just waiting on his friend to email them

Willie are you ****ing kidding me, I was with one of the best Captains in the south Florida area, we did a blind drop and and caught a nice fish we know where we caught the fish and we know where they are. I can assure you, that you will never know exactly or even close to where we caught the fish but you have shown you true colors and that is the end of this story with you!!!!

it`s a big ocean .. it`s almost imposable to hit the same spot ... but so long you know the depth chances are you might hit the mother load again ...still it`s a nice golden ,, for sure there are bigger ones in the same area ..hope you get`em

Its not that big with the technology we have today, we called you and told you about the depth and you announced it Dam bro I never have given any info on this site you have told me over the phone This is not swording where they move from day to day or week to week, these fish hold in an area for a while if not messed with too much, you should know that we just got lucky with a nice fish

Dan ,I never gave exact depth ... I know of a 36Lber that was caught in 950 near the hills ... where it is unknown to big of an area to find ... know of spots near Govern cut in deeper waters where you might find goldens ..thats the info I was telling U B to try deeper .... still even with good tec .. it`s not that easy to find all the areas out there ..

Willie you told one guy to try 700 on one thread and on this thread you told UB to try 800+, after I talked to you, I have fished with Bill a few times and have told him where we were at.

Enough said so please leave it alone now
