Sept 20, 2009 Alabama pelagic

All photographs in this gallery were taken by Sean McConnell and are copyrighted by him. Use by permission only. Any editing errors are my own.

Images from a pelagic trip to 70 n.m. south of Orange Beach off the continental shelf (800 fathoms or 4,800 ft. water depth).

Many thanks to the owners, captain, and crew of the fast C.A.T. - without their dedication and professionalism trips like this off Alabama would be next to impossible.
