Here are a few shots from an overnight paddle trip in the Keys I did with a couple buddies. I was on my SUP, and they were on kayaks. The weather and fishing were phenomenal. We even had shots at tailing permit and laid up tarpon, but we had to settle for a couple bonefish and a bunch of big reds.

 

The next best thing after a double catch is a double release. (Photo by Chris Lewis)

  1. Beautiful fish and those bones are really nice. I haven’t seen too many pics with bones in the Bahamas or Belize that are that big! Great to see those being caught in the Keys!
