Posted: Fri Oct 12, 2012 8:08 pm Post subject: ULM / ICW report Friday 10/12 ... one bull red makes our day |
|
|
Stayed along the edge of the ICW. Saw a lot of drum cruising. Only able to land 2 using dead shrimp and 3" white gulp. Wife caught this big bull using the same white gulp on a jighead. It measured 46". She was wiped out after fighting this thing. At one point she asked for help and wanted me to take over, and was mad when I refused! But she did it!
Finished off the day with a 16" trout. All catch and release. Quite a few skipjack and hardheads too.
What a beautiful red, I was enjoying holding his tail when we put him back in the water, but the moment was short-lived as he cruised away after less than 10 seconds.

| That is one serious fish! Congrats on the catch. A good release is a great feeling when they aren't going on the ice. Always nice to see them swim away strong. |
