Trip Summary

Hey, guys! This beauty is my wife. Like many of you, she works hard and has little time off. And will jump at the chance to fish and learn some of my tips. Today was her day of chauffeuring me around and reeling in the big ones. To get her back in the grove, we went in search of trout. She caught 8/9, two of which were in the slot. That bite was diminishing so we went to some flats and continued tossing artificial lures. I made a cast, twitched the bait a couple times, and WHAM... drag started screaming and then that horrible sound as the line snapped. Knowing a few things, i quickly told her to cast where I was hooked up. One twitch of the lure and Bam!! She was hooked up with a fish the size of which snapped my Iine. After some coaching during her grueling, 20 minute battle, I landed her 38”, 20lb bull redfish. She claimed the brute wore her out, but I believe it was all of the gleeful jumping and skipping around the deck that did her in. All in all, it was an awesome time together as she caught her biggest speckled trout and redfish in the same outing with her birthday rod and reel. Life is good!!
