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!

Nothing brings me joy like seeing a teenager pull in their first Bull Redfish! We ran out to a local wreck and grabbed some of what we local folks call "Butter Trout" for bait.
