That's a big un.
I caught one a couple years ago off Holmes beach near Anna Maria Isle.
It was about the size of a hub cap and I thought it was cool.
Glad to see it was catch and release

Thanks for sharing.
I think it is from 1968

Probably took 40 yrs to get that darn big.

What were you fishing for?
Obviously surf casting with a bottom rig.
What's running this time of year?
