🚨🚨🚨 New species unlocked! Black Sea Bass! I finally caught the fish I've been waiting to catch for a really long time! Such a beautiful fish! I was kinda waiting to master freshwater, but why wait when you could do both!? We caught over 40 fish! It was insane, we had a fish on almost every cast! In addition to the Seabass, I caught my PB Fluke and my first Sea Robin. Kept a few for the pan. It was a great day, smiles all day long! Was probably one the best experience's I've ever had fishing! Will definitely be back real soon! #CatchKing FishAngler Team

Took a charter today for my birthday! Technically it’s the 9th but I have to work that day so we booked this for today. The night was slow because the area got a lot of rain recently which made the visibility low. I caught 2, Blake caught 2, and my mom caught 1. Unfortunately my dad didn’t catch any because 20-30 minutes into fishing he got super sea sick, despite taking precautions before-hand, and was out for the rest of the trip. We didn’t catch any keepers, but I didn’t care because I don’t really like seafood(except popcorn shrimp) and I don’t really like to kill fish(weird personal thing). Overall a very fun experience and new species
