Phat,
Permit? That royalty of flats species? Another catch and release goal for those who like the long wand? THAT permit? You know, that eat crabs and shrimp and all of that nasty stuff? Goliath Grouper like to eat them? Not a nice, small one if I'm the one catching it! And NOT because I'm going to release it, either! Git back, you big SOB!
As one of those famous Key West guides who shall remain nameless once said to me with a SEG, "If you don't like pompano, you won't like permit." Unfortunately for a few permit, I happen to love pompano.
