You are right.

I love Cajun food and truly enjoy folks like Cap'n John. John is likely the most sought-after guide in those parts, and for good reason.

The experience is authentic in every regard. Food, fishing and camaraderie cannot be excelled.

Finally, Louisiana is alone in its redfish limits. All other states allow one fish/angler/day and the fish you keep must fall within the slot of 16 to 28 inches. Any fish landed that exceeds, or is under the limit length, goes back in the drink.

Louisiana, otoh, allows five fish/angler/day and one of those may exceed the 28 inch slot limit. My boy would have been crestfallen if he had to surrender that 32 pounder he caught a few years back. (Incidentally, a 28 inch fish goes about 8 or 9 pounds.)

If you're a fisherman, South LA redfishing is a must for your bucket list.

i have some fishing experience, though only as a kid. i was very lucky and got to fish for nile perch in lake victoria and baracuda off the atlantic coast of florida. my dad caught a 121 lb nile perch, i caught a 42 and 36lb one and my brother caught a 34 and 21 lb one. insane family trip to africa. i'd love to get out on the water among what seems to be a great group of guys.

so in short, i'm honored at the invite and would love to join. it depends a bit on work but please include me in the planning phase. i'm a huge lover of seafood and southern hospitality (lived in tennessee for a summer and it was bbqs and friendly chit chat over beer, which was awesome for me at 20 lol). so that trip you guys went on sounds like heaven.

i can bring an ability to juice stuff lol. here's my post roller hockey refreshing watermelon juice:



and ty again for the invite, i hope this works out b/c it sounds like just an awesome time

no idea what FSAND is but yea this is 4-5 juices a day for me + tea and water and carrot juice from a bottle.

I'm doing a three-five day super-low carb thing to try and break a plateau, and all the delicious delicious vegetables/fruit up thread are so tilting

I feel exactly the same way about leo I've never met a more generous, interesting, and just all around good person.

lousiana trip sounds awesome as usual. the food descriptions had me salivating. cdc and i try to go to boiling crab at least once a month so it makes me sick to my stomach to learn that there is food that puts boiling crab to shame that i don't have access to

btw for whoevers in vegas, i got here yesterday. i have basically quit/lost interest/faith in poker permanently barring a huge change of heart and getting run over by the deck for months on end so im down to do whatever whenever for the most part. i am planning to do a decent amount of grinding but all someone has to do is ask to do something non poker related and ill quit pretty much any cash game im in to go do it. looking forward to some lotus/nobu/naked fish among others.

cdc and i get in on wednesday. we are definitely going to nobu at some point

[ikijigoku]

a couple other friends are getting in on tuesday iirc so i should prolly nobu it up with them as soon as they get in so i can overdo it like normal and go again with u guys on weds =P

Awesome TR you guys, what an awesome trip. My wife is a chef and therefore a big foodie, and these TR's with pictures of amazing food could easy be on the blogs/forums she reads regularly. A nice mixing of my worlds and interests. She also recently went to NOLA for a business junket and got spoiled with local seafood and shellfish, including going on a redfish fishing trip (she even caught one too). Glad to hear the trip was amazing.

My favorite places in NOLA are basically shacks.

I only saw this post and not the long TR and I was like WTF who is that with 3 posts then about half way through the fist second sentence I figured it out. Kinda slow I know.

I'm in town tomorrow. Delicious sushi is always a go for me, but first I have to survive numbnuts's traditional pretournament drinkathon...

Wow, that sounds like a lot. But then the only time we ever used to hire boats was in Mexico, where it might be 40 or 50 bucks for the day.

Also, no limits in Mexico.

+1 to HM's trip report.
