Capt. Mark Rustemier invited Ed Ellett, John Byatt, and Eric Daniels aboard "Fish Slayer" to hunt for red grouper and amberjack.
We caught and released tons of nearly extinct gag grouper - Mark with a nice can't-keep-it-now gag.
The crew managed to find a few keeper red grouper amongst the many shorts - Ed with the best for the day.

New GOFC President
The GOFC Gavel of Power has been Passed!
Retired GOFC President, Capt. Allen Turner
New GOFC President, Capt. Jon Thomas
We failed!! The strategy was to overburden Capt. Allen Turner with presidential duties to keep him off the water and give the rest of us a shot at the Ellett contest. Even with the staggering responsibilities as club president, this 3 time winner again sits in first place for the coveted Ellett Award. However, the year was an absolute success under Allen's keen leadership. We all have many memorable stories from the 2011 GOFC calendar!
Thanks for a great time, Capt. Turner!!
Our new club president, Capt. Jon Thomas, is a Florida native and grew up fishing the Atlantic and Gulf waters. Jon's past
was briefly tarnished when he turned to the dark side and spent 4 years at Florida State. However, he used this
time wisely and honed his fishing skills in the beautiful blue waters off the Florida panhandle. Recognizing his
wayward path, Jon came to Gator Country and, with first mate and son Charlie, has been tearing up the Big Bend
fishing scene ever since! Jon has some great ideas for the club...this promises to be an exceptional year!!All Hail our new leader, Capt Thomas!!
