was going out into gulf saturday for the tail end of the fall kingfish run, little bouncy, so came back in the bay and dragged this guy home. 16' of water on a red/white mann stretch plug

Weve had good luck with those Manns doin the same. They must have some good action under there.

Thats gonna be a tasty dinner for sure!!
