Caught two weeks ago with a popping cork & electric chicken grub on a circle hook. Towed the canoe around a little during the fight. She was able to bring it in pretty quick horsing it with 30# braid. Estimated it to be 30"
Nice one!

Nice! I don’t usually say this, but I think your estimate is short!!
That’s a great red!

That cushion is 18" point to point. I figured 30" maybe 32" but always go for the shorter guess. Had a tape but wanted to get it back in the water ASAP, so didn’t waste time with it.
Didn’t matter to her though, it’s her largest Red and she had a blast catching it. Other than Sharks or big Rays she hasn’t ever had a fish peel 100 yards of line from a reel on the first run like this one did.
There’s that luck red head again! Great to see her dooing so well!
