Bull Redfish

Fishing structure with artifical baits has be paying off. this big boy took the bait and the fight was on! The Bull red got aroud part of the structure. My client could feel the line rubbing against the structure. I manuvered the boat around the structure and the Bull red came out. I quickly loosened the drag and moved the boat away from the structure. By then the Bull was getting tired. My client work him gently to the boat where I netted him. After a quck picture it took several minutes to revive the Bull before i released him. It felt great to watch him swim away.
