Details: Red (redfish) Drum
Hunting for feeding reds. Day was overcast and helped produce our limit. This gal had a really pretty color to her.

Details: White Marlin
#contest2015 This year I was so focused on work that I barely got to fish but this White Marlin for sure was my best catch of the year. I was particularly happy ...more with this fish because we almost didn't go out due to 8-12 foot swells. Out of the spread I got to rig this setup which was on a little reel and light rod. Sure enough it got crushed. Watching the acrobatics was spectacular.

Fought this big ugly on light tackle. Reel broke, let the fish run while I fixed it. Got back to fighting this guy and then my rod broke!! Still landed though. Nice ...more battle
Details: White Marlin
First Marlin caught. While this was an epic battle I was sad to see that the captain would not release this fish so he could feed his family. Prayed to the man upstairs ...more for the experience and thanked this beautiful animal. It was a bit over 6 feet. We were trolling ballyhoo around big weed patches. This fish hit the only rod in the spread with a tiny reel.

Falling tide. Cruising the shore line throwing plastics and saw some reds feeding on bait fish. Wouldn't touch the swim bait so had to throw a minnow under a ...more cork. Slammed it. Fenwick 7 1/2 foot with a shimano stradic 2500 with 30 lbs braid and 15 lbs fluorocarbon leader. Trokar hook- man are they sharp. 27 inch 9 1/2 lbs red.

Fishing the points and spill-outs to target active ambush reds. This guy missed and came back for it.

Same methods. She caught this fish while I was hooked up with my big one. First double of Tahoe Mackinaw
