20 minutes to land him spooled me twice. then took 5-6 pictures and cut him loose. My tackle definitely proved itself today! Wasn't geared up for anything that size.

LOL good ones guys! I was fishing for speckled trout, but ended up with a Redfish. Any Redfish 27 inches or more is called a bull red down here. This one was a about 50 lbs. I probably threw back 7-9 that were half that size that ran about 30 inches long or so. I like the 17 - 19 inch ones, the big ones are fun to catch but they have a lot of blood lines in the meat.

Yeah man I know. Had many a heavy big eye & yellowfin tuna and marlin on for a long time on heavy tackle. They spool 500+ yards and you; almost reel em back before they take it again, and maybe again. Adrenaline is about the only thing that keeps you in the game. Bet you wish you were 25 again, lol

Hey Chief,
Any objection to keep this thread going with big fish stories? I like the theme. Your thread and it's up to you. I know Randy has big fish to show and who knows maybe a throwback or two.

We did get out of the mountains once............. My wife Z with Capt. Joey at North Padre Island, TX, in Sept. 2015. She could not hold up the 37" Sea Trout she caught.

We were fishing with my Brother in Law and Capt. Joey. My Brother in Law is adamant that he releases everything. I did get Capt. Joey to save a few of the smaller (around 20") sea trout and I grilled them with lemon and paprika. My Brother in Law liked eating them, but he just doesn't want to keep fish. He usually takes his boat out on the Gulf and has some great catches, all released. We had bad Red Tide and high winds while we were there. We opted for the bay and a Pro to show us where to go. We each caught 2-3 sea trout over 36" that day, and a number of smaller trout. No Red fish for us, but others were catching them. Had an escort on the way back to the dock.

My mistake. I thought Redfish had a distinctive black dot on the tail. It looks like they can have dark splotches also.

Both. When feeding time came on it didn't matter. We went to lures because it was faster.
