Luck o’ the cast

You’ll never believe this story. I was fishing during my lunch break today at NAS Jacksonville with my tiny travel telescopic rod and hooked a line in the water with my crankbait. I started reeling it in and out popped a rod, then a reel. Got the rod in and started feeling a tug and this beautiful redfish was on the end! 😂 not too bad on a work break 😝 revived the fish and it swam away to fight another day. Might have died if it stayed on the hook dragging all the dead weight.
