<\/a><\/p>\nBack in the UK for a couple of weeks before the start of the mad season, tarpon nearly ever morning and that very special permit spawn. \u00a0I am often asked in the over 10 years of doing fishing holidays in the Florida Keys what are my own special fish, the near 50 lb permit we had many years ago is one of the stand out fish. \u00a0Sorry can’t even remember the guys name but remember the very special fish, we were having a ball very calm seas \u00a0sight fish to very large permit which were swimming over the spawning wrecks some 9 miles offshore. \u00a0Then a shoal of very large fish swam by they were so big we were not even sure that they were permit but I said throw a crab whatever they are they might take it. \u00a0When the crab hit the water one of the smaller fish turned and took the bait fish ON !! in 112 ft of water these fish just power dive then you have to work them back up and 9 times out of 10 they just go straight back down again fun, fun, fun. \u00a0Well this time we won and after a nervous time with the net fish in the boat this one was near 50 lbs god knows how big the bigger ones \u00a0were I am sure we all looked at record permit that day.<\/p>\n
