Monster Red Drum
I’ve fished enough (fresh water) to know how fishing goes. It wasn’t a day of numbers, but it was one heckuva day regardless! Capt. David was great! He was determined to get Jake on a monster, and he did just that. After netting and sadly losing the BIGGEST cast net catch of bait (so many pogies it snapped the handline), we got a few bait fish from another friendly charter Capt and set out on the hunt. We stopped at a bridge, threw some lines and started watching rod tips. A couple of missed bites later, the fight was on! Jake jumped to the rod and all 90lbs of that young man fought for almost 10 minutes to land the biggest saltwater AND freshwater fish he’s ever caught. What a catch! 38” bull red…the very fish we were hoping and dreaming of catching. So happy that it was Jake who caught it and so happy Capt. David put us in the right spot! Capt. David is a friendly, genuine, knowledgeable, and savvy person and charter Captain. He made it a memorable experience for our trip…one we won’t forget. Thank you, Capt. David. We’ll be reaching out again for our next saltwater trip!
With a lot of luck and God willing, bad weather for offshore, plan B was the next option. It all worked out. Great to see a young man creating his memories and I was glad to be a part of it. Capt. David
