I charterd the Southbound with Captain Rich and first mate Dave on June 20th. I and 5 of my friends specifically asked for a day of deep sea fishing for big fish, namely shark. The boat was well equipped and the crew knowledgable about how to catch fish. We did have a successful day fishing catching several bonita. Then at our request we moved to deeper water looking of for bigger fish. We were successfull catching a large bull shark and a rare 53 lb cubera snapper. Overall, good fishing. HOWEVER, when i landed a rare large cubera snapper, the first mate and captain took all of the credit when my fish made ""The Key West Citizen"", without a mention of my group that chartered the vessel or that I landed the fish not the captain.
Great trip; but the dishonesty afterward makes me question the integrity of the crew and if the mount of my 53 lb cubera snapper and my entry into the key west fish tournament will be overshadowed by that dishonesty.
