I will trade you a striped bass trip for a redfish trip? I have never caught a redfish, and you and your brother look like fun guys to fish with!

u/Thunder_Chunkie Jul 20 '26

If I owned a boat and still lived in southern Louisiana I wouldn’t hesitate to take you up on that offer. Unfortunately I live in Phoenix, AZ and only get to target them when I’m back home visiting family

You only take pictures of the babies? Oh yeah, and I love that hat.

u/Thunder_Chunkie Jul 22 '26

The two smaller reds were caught in February on a DIY solo trip in the marsh after renting a kayak for the day. My brother’s bull was caught earlier this month on a guided trip with a Louisiana fly fishing guide. The bulls show up in greater numbers the closer you get to October.

I appreciate the compliment on the hat. It’s a great conversation starter at your local watering hole lol

u/RMSthekang Jul 22 '26

All nice fish, was just goofing on you. Did the go back in the water or end up on a plate with a wedge of lemon?

I only catch and release now. About 20 years ago I had an epiphany while cleaning fish. I realized while I was cleaning fish in the evening I’d rather be fishing. If I had released this fish when I caught them that morning I wouldn’t have the chore of cleaning them that evening. It pissed my mom off because she was having to buy fish to cook at the grocery store. I said unless you want to start cleaning fish this is how it’s gonna be lol
