“AJ”, ”Reef Donkey”, ”Jack Your Back”, ”Take the Rod!” or sometimes just a simple “No More!” are some of the phrases you hear when someone is fighting a huge fish like this amberjack. Definitely one of the toughest fish in the Florida Keys. This true monster fish is being held by a grimacing father/son duo exhibiting the effort through their facial expressions as they landed and then held onto this huge amberjack for the money shot. Before release, this fish was estimated at over 115 lbs. by using the length/girth/weight estimating formula. A classic catch and release is standard for the charter fleet on a fish this size.
