But I needed 20...

We ran into a school of redfish this evening... caught a buncha smaller ones but those were the biggest I got, another 16 was landed as well...

fun stuff... dunno how I'm gunna make it to work tomorrow, I'm wore the heck out,... and tipsy :D

I don't understand "fishing"....why did you need a 20?

[Gobbla2001]

Redfish have to be atleast 20 inches to keep and you can only keep ONE that is over 28 inches... after you catch that one over 28 (if you're lucky), you can send the tag into Texas Parks and Wildlife and they will send you one more...

Why 28? I forget, I think over 28 are the best breeders, maybe that's why...

Sending your tag in to get another is done so that they can keep track of how many over 28 reds have been 'legally' kept... atleast that is what I think...

Those are fun to catch! They pull soooooooo HARD!

The 17 1/2 gave me the best all around fight... he took out a little line and went side-to-side two times and must have covered 20 yards doing so...

The 16 was decent...

But the 18 hit real hard on the spoon, I hooked him and he started coming closer to the boat, I thought I had lost it... but when I finally reeled enough line in he was a good ways under the boat, he was pretty angry, pulled like you wouldn't believe...
