Great day at the Slop Bowl landing a 17” and a 23” red. I also hooked an over slot red but after a long fight it broke my 10# leader.

A beautiful slot 24.5 inch slot Red caught on Vudu artificial shrimp. In my opinion a Redfish is the hardest-fighting "INSHORE FISH"‼️ Prove me wrong ⬇️ if you think otherwise. BTW there isn't a wrong answer. Everyone has different experiences and fish in different parts of the country. 🔥Lets get it🔥
