Mind-Blowing Fishing Adventures TROPHY CATCHES FROM COAST TO COAST Excuse yourself from whatever else the family has planned, and hang up your “Gone Fishing” sign. It’s time to reel in some trophy catches, and these fishing destinations will leave you in awe (and probably a little sore). Whether you’re in search of a famous freshwater destina- tion, or someplace in the depth of the sea, these hotspots have it all figured out. We’re packed and ready. Are you? Saltwater Texas Kingfish are king in Texas! Galveston and Port Aransas are two ex- treme destinations in the state when looking for those trophy catches. Kingfish, also known as king mackerel, are massive when compared to freshwater species. They’ll most commonly weigh in at 10-30 pounds, but have been known to get as heavy as nearly 100 pounds! Go way offshore for the big ones, or stay close by for a moderately- sized trophy – your choice! Adventure Outdoors | Summer 2018 | 85
