The Island King and I were bait fishing at the Duck Pond by
our house and I caught what I do believe is a record breaking Redfish.
Guinness wasn’t there to document the event but I have never
seen or heard of anyone catching a redfish this size on a hook.
I caught a baby!
We did a quick measure and he came in at about 5 inches
long.
It’s not uncommon to catch redfish babies in nets but I had
no idea you could actually catch one on a baited hook.
He was just a wee bit undersized – 13 inches to be exact –
so we unhooked him and tossed him back.
I hope he lives a happy life in the Duck Pond and then ends
up back on my hook when he’s grown a foot or so.
