Everyone that knows me knows that I’m a passiona Everyone that knows me knows that I’m a passionate person and that extends to every corner of my life. I’ve chased fishing with everything in me as long as I can remember and I’m beyond excited to spend the rest of my life chasing a woman who is just as passionate as I am about what she does and about us. Life is so much better with the person that you’re meant to be with, we are grounded by our faith in God Almighty and I’m so glad that we have taken the next step towards our happily ever after. Thank you so much @reganelson for loving me the way you do and saying yes. Also want to give a huge shout out to Capt Hunter Bozeman and his engagement to Jen this evening, it’s been a big week at Hang Em High and we can’t thank our family, friends, customers, and sponsors enough for all of the support over the years!
As we begin the transition into our summer fishing As we begin the transition into our summer fishing May brings with it a lot of really fun options on the water. We Will be targeting Cobia and big snook on the bay boats along with trout and redfish. The big snook will begin moving offshore to spawn and this gives us an awesome opportunity to catch trophy snook, Cobia frequently hang around these same offshore structures so it creates a neat experience where a bait could catch a big Cobia or big snook. We have a few openings left in May so if a Cobia or trophy snook is on your hit list this a great month to try it! #youngboats #simradyachting #suzukioutboards #pullharder #fun #fishing #goodtimes #sodiumfishinggear #ppd #powerpole #saltwater #hardwork
The inshore part of last week wasn’t too bad eit The inshore part of last week wasn’t too bad either with some big snook still hanging around the shallows, Kolby landed an absolute monster along a few other quality slot fish, and there has been a good amount of big trout around as well. Some of the snook are already trickling out to the offshore spawning grounds already. Looks like the weather will be pretty good this weekend so go out there and get on some fish #simradyachting #sodiumfishinggear #epic #pullharder #greattimes #greatoutdoors #lovewhatyoudo #bigfish #suzukioutboards #hukgear #youngboats #gootimes #doitfordan #powerpole #gameon #snookfishing #shrimplanding
Great to see a few Cobia showing up even if they a Great to see a few Cobia showing up even if they are a month late this year, Mischel and I had a ball today messing around with the brown fish. Hopefully we will get a steady stream of Cobia over the next few weeks #shrimplanding #fishing #fun #workharder #lovewhatyoudo #hukgear #simradyachting #youngboats #fishing #suzukioutboards #sodiumfishinggear
We have been blessed with some monster snook this We have been blessed with some monster snook this season but the first picture in this collage is one of the biggest I’ve ever guided a client to at 43 inches and somewhere around 30lbs. It’s been a fun week of fishing with plenty of challenges between the strong winds and tides but we have worked through it and put together some fantastic memories and awesome catches. A few more short weeks of snook and it’ll be time to get ready for offshore season. This is my favorite time of year and if you’ve never experienced snook fishing you should Definitely give it a shot. #youngboats #gulfshore26

Some highlights from this past week, trout Redfish Some highlights from this past week, trout Redfish and snook have all been biting decent despite the slow tide phase that we have been stuck in. The big fish of the week was a 43” beast landed by my client Clay. There has been a pretty even number of slot fish and overslot fish out there making fishing the slower fishing a lot more fun, the next bite could be the fish of a lifetime! We have a few openings in april if you want to get out there with us. #shrimplanding #windy #beautiful #youngboats #lovewhatyoudo #sunny #fishing #crystalriver #gulfshore26 #hukgear #neverstop #powerpole #simradyachting #epic #sodiumfishinggear
I would say the back half of this last week wasn’t exactly huge numbers of fish but it was enough… we worked hard and caught some giants including the largest snook I’ve had the opportunity to guide a client too. The bite will only get better as the water gets warmer and we are all looking forward to it! #youngboats #fishing #hukfishing #powerpole #simradyachting #fun #beautiful #windy #suzukioutboards #shrimplanding #captainronsbugrepelant
Phenomenal day today with 2 snook over 40”, I’ Phenomenal day today with 2 snook over 40”, I’ve never caught multiple 40” inshore snook in a day before and it was very cool to do it with Frank and his crew. We were very blessed to have beautiful weather and awesome fishing today. Huge shoutout to @cpt_davidcase for catching a 41” snook today to beat my crew out of the big fish honors for the day. It’s certainly not easy but if you want the chance at a trophy snook now is the time for it! #snookfishing #workharder #lifeisgood #sodiumfishinggear #crystalriver #youngboats #hukgear #fitzgeraldfishing #simradyachting #catchandrelease #bigtime
The cold fronts have slowed the inshore fishing do The cold fronts have slowed the inshore fishing down a bit but hard work from our guides and positive attitudes from the customers have prevailed. I don’t always enjoy a day where I’m banking on getting 4-7 good bites but sometimes that’s how the game goes. Thank you to our customers this week that have persevered in challenging conditions and hopefully temps will stabilize out and we can see some fast fishing. The big fish of the week goes out to JR Long and his 38.5” snook! #youngboats #gulfshore26 #simradyachting #hukgear #suzukioutboards #snookfishing #redfish #troutfishing #shrimplanding #windy #beautiful #crystalriver
I had the pleasure of enjoying 2 days with Luke an I had the pleasure of enjoying 2 days with Luke and his family as a part of there spring break, the weather didn’t exactly feel like spring but we made the best of it and over the 2 days everyone got a catch a nice one including mom. Of course Milan and Cruze did the heavy lifting and reeled in most of them with a little help from Luke and I. It was a great time but I’m looking forward to warmer temperatures and better conditions! #youngboats #takeakidfishing #workhard #loveit #simradyachting #epic #hukgear #kids #springbreak2023 #suzukioutboards
This past week was alot of fun for my customers an This past week was alot of fun for my customers and I, the fishing wasn’t fast and furious but most of our bites where big beautiful overslot snook. This spring has definitely stacked up to be tough sledding on the inshore front but if you’re patient the rewards can be spectacular. This week coming looks like it will be a challenge l but hopefully we can find a way to be successful despite the wind and cold temperatures that are forecasted looking forward to more warm temps and big fish soon #crystalriver #bigfish #fun #lovewhatyoudo #hardwork #snookfishing #goodtimes #trophiesnotlimits #hukgear #youngboats #shrimplanding

The sheephead/mangrove snapper bite is definitely The sheephead/mangrove snapper bite is definitely ramping up on the offshore rocks but don’t forget about the inshore fishing this time of year. The trout and redfish bite has been very good in the back country and we starting to see some nice snook pouring out of the rivers and back creeks. We have a few openings the next few months and the fishing should continue to stay strong. #fishing #goodtimes #workharder #lovewhatyoudo #prodigyboats #inshorefishing #greatpeople #hukgear sodiumfishinggear #shrimplanding
