Where: About 130 feet of water depth offshore of Anna Maria Island
Quotable: Capt. Larry McGuire: “That was Justin’s first offshore trip. And that was his largest grouper ever. He got rained out two other weekends with me and he was frustrated. And he came out and got the largest grouper of the trip. He even outfished some real experienced guys on the boat. A lot of times you get guys who say they’re experienced and they’re not. And I take some guy who doesn’t have a lot of experience but you show him some good techniques and they perform really well.”
