man, that had to be an awesome feeling! and what a great area you're in.
we're kind of limited in what we have around to catch. i hate going to the
gulf to shore fish...damn jellies and sting rays! deep sea is fun, but it's
kind of pricey unless you go for a few days - enter the wife and kids. ;^)
make sure you get out some time for a sanity break...then report back what
hall you brought in.
cheers.
