shorts and one weak for dinner

Definitely getting some biteoffs of my precious Gulp this week. One bite was so smooth I wondered if it was a snapper. Has anyone seen them yet ? I used the tail end of a white and chartreuse 3" paddle tail that was not quite ripped in half to entice a 17" weak for tonight's cuisine. (Been grilling them in a aluminum foil "canoe" generously covered in Lawry's herb and white wine marinade.) Although the little tail was on a 3/4oz lead buck dressed with pink silicone skirts, it was a "short" presentation, and it ended up in the gill area, causing a LOT of blood to gush all over my swim trunks, my kayak and my net. First time I towed a fish home that was not still alive on the stringer. Also had 3 short fluke from 13 to 17". Won't get out again until the weekend or after. Tight lines all !
