Saturday 11-07-2015 9am arrival and the bridge was packed out. All of our normal spots were taken so we decided to try a new one. We spent the first 45min breaking off lines in the rocks and getting frustrated. All of the sudden boom! She hooked up and after a 15min struggle this 9.2lbs Hogfish came over the rail.
I need to say a BIG THANK YOU to the guys that arrived with their net. There was no way it was coming over the rail without it

Hey fortysix!
I'm the Asian guy with the net! I was hoping you would post a picture of the hogfish for everyone to admire. Congrats again!

That was quite an unusual catch for the pier. Normally Hogfish are found in reefs and are taken by divers and occasionally I have seen them brought in at Hubbard's Marina as some of the charter or party boat catches. They are listed as a reef fish in the FL fishing regs page. This tells us that you never know what you may catch out there! Congrats!!  |

Hey fortysix! I'm the Asian guy with the net! I was hoping you would post a picture of the hogfish for everyone to admire. Congrats again! Thanks again ufgators. You saved the catch! I did go and purchase a net the next day. I also wanted to thank everyone who contributes to this forum. I realize this catch was pure luck but I have leaned so much from reading here We were on the SSP using Shrimp |

Wow! Nice pic FortySixand2
This is funny. I logged on tonight to see what was happening on "The Board", and BAM! There was that pic again.
We were the couple that shared a table with you guys at Cigar City last night for the 3 Floyd's event. Very nice chatting with you guys then.
Glad to see you posted the pic up too. Congrats again!
I would also like to echo the comments expressed by others here. The guys (and gals) on this board are a great resource for everyone. Thank you much for sharing the information that you do.
Tight Lines Everyone!
