Sounds like you won the trash fish trio award. The octopus story sounds like us last Sunday 12/30. We were not far off the Chas 60 on the Black Banks live bottoms abusing BSB’s and hauled up an octopus. I could not get him netted before he dropped off the rig. They are good baked aand make into a ceviche or pasta dish. Next time roll deeper and away from the reef for better results. To much trash fish attracting more trash fish at the 60 this time of year. The BSB’s are so hungry any patch of reef will produce.
