Melanie Flowers shot this tom this past weekend during spring gobbler out in Highlands County. His beard was 10 inches. “It was very exciting because he was roosted right above me and was gobbling and drumming! I am a teacher so this started off my spring break just right!” she said." class="thickbox no_icon" rel="set_6">

Huge Snook, photo by Matt Hawksley.
Hawksley says, “Using only artificials we have been able to land quite a few lunkers this summer and all of them right off Tarpon Bay Beach on Sanibel - no boat or live bait needed. We've caught many smaller snook in the canals and passes as well which is a great sign, but the 40-plus inch monsters seem to be out cruising the beaches in droves.”" class="thickbox no_icon" rel="set_6">

Standup Redfish, photo by Patrick "Tupat" Eichstaedt.
“This particular image is a screen shot from a GoPro Hero4 HD video clip,” says pro photographer and surfer Patrick "Tupat" Eichstaedt. “When David caught this red I wanted to try and capture this moment, but I knew it would be difficult without shooting it in video mode. Fishing was insane. I myself caught 8 different species of fish and David caught his fair share as well. This image is a very unique perspective and SUP fishing is the way to go for getting as close to the catch as possible.” @therealtupat " class="thickbox no_icon" rel="set_6">
