It took me almost 5 years, but I finally caught an oversized redfish in South Texas!

It was the first cast of the morning on a quiet, sunny day. We had just settled the rods in their holders with fresh-cut mullet and waited for one to bend over.

Not unlike Jaws, we watched one start to writhe a little bit, as if something were considering taking a bite.

Naturally, the one next to it immediately bent over with a SCREECH!

My father in law got the other rods reeled in while I started fighting the fish. My heart pounded when I saw the telltale gold scales flashing along the surface as he got closer.

It wasn’t until we got him the boat that I realized how big he was. I couldn’t stop smiling when we measured him to be .5” over the limit.

After a quick picture and a kiss, I sent him back to the Laguna. I couldn’t be happier with my new PB!
