Saltwater Fish Photos....Post Here!

[gatortransplant]

As a saltwater fly fisher for part of the year and one who misses the salt for the rest of the year, I'd love to see a thread where people post their saltwater catches... while we could put them in "Fish other than trout" and "warmwater fish" I think we could use a dedicated saltwater thread!

So if that is amenable to the mods, Here's a small snook caught off the beach and an upper-end-of-the-slot nighttime red which inhaled a clouser to kick off the thread:

The coolest part about this redfish was the photoshop-esque shape of the tail-spot:

Great fish A.J. Great idea also. Maybe well see some real pigs!

I have a few pictures, but I'm gonna spread them out so that it's looks like I catch more fish than I really do.

Nice Striper Rip! Is that a piece of Eel Grass or part of the fly?

First my oldest's first time out in salt with flyrod

Second pic of his first red (my hand, his fish)

Fluke (Summer Flounder)

A pair of Hickory Shad (not intentional, they get in the way during Fall Striper season)

Yellow Eyed Demon (aka Blue Fish)

@ KWB...Dang, those are some slammin' reds, and a sheepy on fly? Way cool. Did that black drum break that rod? or is it just tore down? Great catches...:worthy:

Busted rod laying next to the Redfish, was a brand new rod, they wrapped a guide too tight...

If hypersaline is ok... then there's this. milt

That corvina is a pig Milt! To bad no more in hypersaline. Awesome fish!

 

[milt spawn]

Thank you sir. We definitely had some days down there during its resurgence, but to hear the stories of the heyday is almost unbelievable. Doubtful that I'll see a fix in my lifetime. Miss that place, highly unique. milt.

I've just returned from a delightful week in the Cook Islands staying on Aitutaki.
I managed ( read negotiated with SWMBO) 2 days guided fishing with Itu Davey.
Now I have to admit to be a freshwater angler and had some problems (read couldn't do) with casting a 9 weight 30 > 35 yards....
However, I did manage to land 2 nice bones - each weighing in between 9> 10 lb...

 

[theboz]

Dang! Those bones are not only gorgeous but ginormous ! Looks like a great place to fish.

Beautiful fish! Congrats! Figured it would take fly fishing to make me want to vacation in the Tropics...

 

[thewalker1013]

Those bones are ridiculous!

Here is some fun we got into last October in LA... my bachelor party

And some fun off of Cape Cod last summer with 12 wts....

Here is a 'cuda I caught on my Honeymoon in Bora Bora... not huge but I had fun

 

[fishindave]

WOW, Felix, those are some flats rockets!! One of these days I will make it to NZ...Been thinking of it..Long way from AFG though...Whats the best time down there?

Walker, Sweet lineside....

 

[gatortransplant]

Running the spectrum there, Walker, from slotties to big 'uns! Looks fun! I want to chase some of those LA delta pigs...

We were there a little early for the big bull reds, going to go mid-November this time... although, my brother (pictured in the double) did get a shot at a 25lb.+ fish. Unbelievable
