Three red drum today. Two keepers (18.5 inch and 20 inch) and one 17 inch quickly returned to the water. Before thunderstorms cut the day short.

Landed my personal best redfish while trout fishing along with another that was slightly smaller. Unfortunately we didn't have anything long enough to measure the length and I wanted to release ASAP to ensure a successful recovery by the fish. They both swam away successfully.
