OK. Later today, I'm going fishing at the 5 mile reefs to
target...sheepshead.

Sheepshead? Jeeze, that's like pullin up discarded bicycle tires.
Triggerfish put up a real fight and are worth eatin. Down Mexico way the
boys filet em for ya soon as the boat hits the dock. Triggers are
probably the fightenest fish pound for pound you can sling aboard.

Pound-for-pound, the lowly pinfish outfights all others...followed closely
by anything in the tuna family, and most fish in the jack family.

I've caught plenty of triggerfish. They are excellent eating, but a bear to
clean. But I never pulled one up and said to myself "damn, that was one
tough fish". I'd put their fighting ability on par with a small black drum
or a sheepshead.








Tomorrow, I'm hooking up the smaller boat to tow an hour and 50 minutes
across Alligator Alley and fish for Sailfish.

Would seem you have a truly trailerable boat then. Wouldn't want to lug
a Parker 25 that far.

Why not? I sold the 25' Whaler to my dad, and he bought a trailer for it.
My Sequoia tows it just fine.
