Dauphin Island Redfish

















This bull redfish in the 25-30 pound range hit a live croaker on the Dauphin Island Shoals. It was also shown on video on Fox Ten News Friday July 21, 2006 as a part of the 2006 Alabama Deep Sea Rodeo Preview.

















The fight lasted approximately 15 minutes. I caught the fish on 14 pound Berkley Trilene XL, and a Shimano 200b Curado Reel, and a St. Croix 7 ft Medium Action Avid Rod. Curtis Wright is pictured left. Curtis took Fox Ten News Photographer Vania Kuy and me out on his 17ft Cape Horn.
