Salty CPR

Went out of Crystal River with hopes if a now, in season, string-stretching Snook. Didn't fulfill that goal but even in the sloppy conditions, captured 3 eater-sized Trout and a Sweet treat. On my new fav Rod 6' 6" Ml Berkley Lightning rod, easily[or not], helped me enjoy the rigorous energy of a true feat. This 31" Red[oversized by 4""] substantiated my opinion of this almost Snook act-alike! 2-3 footers from the East only helped increase the adrenaline-rush. Got only 9 blue [emoji886] in my pots[3 Jumbos]. Fun trip, but couldn't invite my girl Raynee.[emoji25]

That’s a good red Doug. I was wondering in the later part of the week what you’ve been up to. The salt is calling me loud lately, I haven’t thrown any topwater in too long. Glad you got out and found some, hope the snook visits next time out. Stay healthy…

Very nice sir! Hope you have even better success next time

Just now arrived back home from a 2300 mile 5 day round trip to MD. High School reunion...good news is that I experienced the extremely low gas prices there going up and then returning home. [emoji857] Easily proved helpful with 2.74 AMOCO and 26.7 mpg being the real-deal going up...same station increased by .20 just four days later. Although Gas buddy app found me 2.89 Circle K.[emoji847]
Anxious to get busy with both fresh/salt pursuits.[emoji41]
Fortunate to be able to drop off Raynee(now 9 months old) in SW Atlanta @Brother/Sister in laws to help with that anxiety(her's and mine)! [emoji1787] The posted fish day was Wed., left @3am next day. My 5 day hiatus was extremely "booked" w/things.[emoji3064] Anxious to kick back w/[emoji42]!

Nice red, and 2.74 beat my 2.98 I seen in Alabama. Great job Dougy.

Good road trip, glad it went smooth. I could stand some gas prices like those around here.

Good ol' days Ed!Attachment 471903Attachment 471904

Sorry, I would have included a catchy tune for a hint, but don't know how...would've sounded like = "My Red's bigger than your Red, my Red's bigger than your's"! Would have been a hit, sorry boss![emoji857]

He could’ve been 14” and I’d have been just as happy. I just don’t get that many fish in 45 minutes too often, especially in the salt. Every one was a prize to me. Before I brought any of these to the boat I pitched in and saw a push coming up behind the jig. A redfish and I think it was bigger than either of these. I watched the push get bigger, then saw the nose, then the eyes, the the take as he was coming straight at me. Line came tight a second and then he was gone. I’m betting I pulled it out of his mouth. What a thrill that was.
