Louisiana fishing
RR, Please don't take this as bragging, just feeling really fortunate to have the fishing resources we have here in Louisiana. The week between christmas and new years 2009, I made 7 trips to one of my "honey holes" with varying amounts of souls aboard (5-people, 5-people, 3-people, 4-people, 2-people, 4-people, 3-people). We stayed legal on our keepers, limiting out all but one day. We hooked over 350 reds in those seven days usually having the limit in the icechest in 1 1/2 hours. Then catch and release till the arms went into muscle failure. I was able to get another christmas/new years trip in this year (2010), we found them stacked in another spot. Two adults, two twelve year olds and one ten year old limited out in two hours. There was no catch and release on this trip, we were whipped after putting our 25 legal reds in the box. They ranged from 24" - 26". I have been fishing that area for 36 years, I am 41 now, and that was the most beautiful stringer I ever saw. Plus the looks on those kids faces when they would say "got another one".
