|
|
Hey guys, seeing as how that time is rolling around again, I'm curious about some of the largest reds y'all have caught. Biggest I've caught so far was 43in last year. But I've only been here a few years. Interested in the largest drums as well  |

I pulled my biggest red out of the bay in october, 45.5" almost spooled my little mitchell...that day held 15 or so redfish for me it was great!
Biggest drum i pulled this year in the bay 45-48" couldnt get a good enough measurement on the kayak and wanted to release it quick after a long fight
hoping to pass those numbers up these next few months  _________________

Red - 39 (South of Bob Hall)
Drum - 26 (Backside of Mustang)
Trout -21 (Highline Hole near Demmit)
Shark - 48 (South of Bob Hall)
LMBass - 23 (Town Lake, Austin TX, estimated 7#)
Those are the only ones I track. I really have been wanting to increase my trout personal best.

Biggest red I've ever caught was 19.5 inches... I'm working on catching a bigger one!
Biggest black drum I've caught was 42 inches.
Here's a picture of it. It was a beast!

As much as you fish the jetties smack your due for a bull red by seasons end...
guess were throwing other numbers out? lol
Trout- 32" and change in a magical place, before i started seriously fishing didnt even know how sick a catch it was at the time...
LMB- had two 26" (rattle trap on tourny day) and 27"(frog)...but on private lakes soo guess they don't count?
Flounder- 21" i dont catch much _________________

I love catching bull reds. They put on a good fight, take great pics and easy to release.
Mine was nothing special.
