got lucky and found a couple of the endangered ARS Tues....3 man limit with 5 of them over 20#. my two went 24.3 and 22.4 These might be the last two snapper in the gulf according to NMFS:) Guess all those others were hybrids or something!

We did get stopped by a coast guard boat escorting a "special enfocement agent" from NOAA. Secong time in one week we've been checked over 50 miles offshore.

I dedicate this photo to Mobile Diver, us freedivers dont typically get ARS on the rigs huh Steve:)

You got the last two pigs!! :pissed: :D

Very nice fish :thumbup:

Damn fine ARS, though.:smthumbup::smthumbup:

Nice! I found one on the West side this week...

Mike,

Where were you guys today? Thanks to the GCL not showing up, I won king skindiver :eek: I knew my glory would be shattered if you bastards showed up though! I was watching the clock tic away till the scales closed.

I got the official weight on the snapper and it was 24 lb. 10 oz.

Im out of the state on the yacht. Not sure about the rest of the crew. Nice fish!
