Redfish in Ten-Gallon Hats

June 1, 2006 By: Marshall Cutchin

Redfish down Laguna Madre-way get big, and just because the targets are bigger doesn’t make it any easier. “Drunk on adrenaline, I never got another cast off before the reds, absolutely as large as redfish get, aimed right for the boat. The school split and passed on either side. More than a yard long and with heads like volleyballs, the big red drum were almost disdainful of the puny boat as they went by.” Mike Leggett in the Austin, Texas American-Stateman.
