Took a buddy and his boy Jake out to fish the beginning if the incoming tide last night. Fished cut mullet on the bottom, reds were eating good. Boated 13, lost 8…all 28-31 inches. Jake was on the rod for most of the action - he did an awesome job and held his own fighting these bruisers.
This reminds me of when I was about his age and caught my first bull red. When the guide took him off and threw him back, I was so upset because we couldn’t keep him. Days like that he will likely never forget. Great job Jake and dad. I am sure he had a blast catching all those over slot fish!
I’d rather be a free man in my grave than living as a puppet or a slave.
I like the lil fellas eyes too.That is a day he will talk about for months.It is always great to see young ones out having some fun and learning the fun to be had outside.
