Default cuba trip amazing

Just back from the cayos and cant wait to go back, I had two guided days the first plugging with a friend i met and the next for the bones which was my main quarry, On the plugging day i had 8 red snapper, 2 jacks,3 barras and hooked and lost 3 tarpon the smallest maybe 50 pounds and the first one i hooked the guide reckoned it was a 100 plus but four jumps and ten minutes later he was off, truly amazing to see, I met up with aenoon also on here and he helped me get my first bone before i went out with the guide, On the bonefish trip the day started very calm and perfect,not for long though and the wind got up and made it very hard to say the least but i managed 7 from 4 pounds up to 8 pounds which i must say are truly amazing fish
