Headed back to the camp after a day in Timbalier Bay, we notice a couple of fish tailing a point in the marsh. Looked like a decent redfish. It was just before dusk, but we were very close to the camp, so we decided to try.
My dad and I are on the bow as we troll up to the point. We were both kind of standing there waiting for the other to cast when he said "You go." I cast and landed about 6 inches on the other side of it and the water exploded. At first I thougt it got spooked, because there wasnt immediate tension, but I was wrong.
The fish had grabbed the bait and headed to the middle of the canal for seep water. At this point, we're a little confused, because this is a big fish and it was tailing in about a foot or 2 of water. I fought the fish up and down the canal for about an hour. By the time we got it to the surface, it was pitch black out.
Turns out, it was about a 35-40# drum. To this day, its one of my favorite fishing pictures. All you can see in the picture is me, the fish, and the gunwale behind me.

Favorite outdoor thing...
Sitting in the duck blind in the dark waiting for shooting light. Quiet listening to the marsh around you and watching the stars above, dog anxiously awaiting shooting light. It’s as close to a heavenly experience as I’ll likely get during my lifetime.
Favorite memory..
July 4 last year my son landing a bull red by himself just he and I in the boat. Teamwork in action it was great.
Youth hunt in MS last year my son shot a monster of a buck first buck and it was just a surreal moment for us but especially me. Had some great friends that made the hunt happen and were a huge part of it after the shot. Great times can’t wait for more!
