Got to go feeshin today.

[THEFERMANATOR]

Well the weather was crappy here for fishing, but a friend of mine was dead set on going somewhere and wetting a line today. The wind was blowing a good 15-20 knots today out of the north north east, so we were able to get about 2-3 miles offshore in his bay boat before it got real bumpy. We started off the day trolling hoping to pick up a few spanish macks, but ended up catching the biggest redfish I have ever caught in my life. i've seen a few this size before, but did not expect to catch this trolling a medium sized spoon through bait pods off the beach. He was released alive and kicking much to one of my buddies dislike as he was well outside of the 18-27" slot limit we have here in Florida. We didn't keep him out of the water long enough but to take a few pics then dunk him back to revive him and release. Didn't catch another fish all day myself, but I did land one monster redfish. Took me every bit of 20 minutes on a 17 pound spinning rod set-up(kingfish rig). We guestimated him to be about 36-38 inches and every bit of 20 pounds.





laugh all you want at my funny hat, it keeps my neck from roasting out there.
