Redfish Are Always a Fun Catch

Big Redfish in full swing! Sitting on a spot that gave us 9 over slot Reds in less than an hour. My young passenger and his father had a great time reeling them in. We sent the over slot fish back safely but kept our Speckled Sea Trout and lower slot Black Drum to eat!
