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! Very Happy

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.

Trophy catch!

Good on you for having her experience the Power and the Fury of the running of that Bull!
