Been to Key West back in 98-00 I jumped quite a few but only boated one......around 100lbs.......What an adreneline rush having one of those bad boys hooked....

Can't wait to go back but finances are tight for a bit so I just have the memories......

Anybody else fish for them?
Any Bone fish or Permit?
