A spotted weakfish caught while deep sea jigging, trolling, and using heavy tackle and light tackle in the waters of 679 Beach Blvd.

The sun glints off the water. A fishing boat gently rocks. Lines are cast. Anticipation builds. Suddenly a tug. The rod bends. A spotted weakfish breaks the surface. Its silver scales shimmer. The angler reels. The fish fights. It dives. It surfaces. The net is ready. Success. A prized catch is landed. Smiles all around. Another memory made on the waters of Biloxi.
