We got on the water at about 2 on Saturday. Got into a mess of runt reds,
so i figured eventually someone would snag a slot red. I was wrong Laughing
Snagged a 32 inch red, was fighting her for 5 mins or so when she spat
the hook and foul hooked herself in the tail.
After that I had a good 8-10 mins of fight and was making very little progress getting her in.
Finally she tired out a bit so I set the drag down and got her on the boat.







release video.


Later we snagged a couple trout each for a fish fry and headed home.
THANKS rippin lipps for the jig heads they were perfect!!!

Spat the hook and snagged the tail! That fish was bound to get in your boat. 30+", very nice. Good reading.
