Epic Big Fish Trip - Giant Red Grouper and Blackfin Tuna!!!!

It's not often that you see your biggest fish of a species on a trip. On this January 2025 out of Fort Myers Beach in Florida, on my friend Walter's beautiful 30' Cobia, I witnessed the three biggest species I've personally seen: red grouper, yellowtail snapper, and, the surprise of the trip, blackfin tuna.
I also got to jig up big red grouper for the first time, using my VRC tog jigging rod (aka, the noodle!) with a Squidrex jig.
Thank you Walter for an amazing time and congrats to Craig on two trophy fish!
