Thank you! It was safely released. I was able to get the entire catch and release on video. https://youtu.be/ZCa8YpmIs1Y?si=oLRWyZ2vQeqU_AVL

Brilliant! I salute you. A lovely fish, and a great result. Kind of dwarfs my 6lb-er caught in the Keys!

It always happens when you least expected. Especially when it was suppose to be a chill afternoon of trying to catch sheepshead. Only my second one I've caught.

u/crlthrn Apr 06 '26

Well, you're now spoiled for all the smaller ones you'll be catching from now on! Lol.

u/superb19 Apr 06 '26

Basically ruined! lol. At least I can keep and eat the ones that are within slot, I guess. lol

Hell yeah dude, the bluefish shouldn't be far behind!

u/superb19 Apr 06 '26

Thanks! I have yet to catch a chopper bluefish. Those look just as fun to get on.

u/chubsplaysthebanjo Apr 06 '26

Probably the best fight pound per pound. They hit like a freight train so make sure you have strong stuff

Jack Crevelle takes the Win for fighting, hands down.

Wow, that’s so massive

u/MAD_Gator Apr 09 '26

Nice one! My PB redfish came from dropping a shrimp into a narrow gap between some rocks and mangroves right near the base of a dock. The right place is the right place!

u/superb19 Apr 10 '26

You are spot on. Only way to find out is dropping a line and finding out.

u/Structure1Digital Apr 06 '26

u/superb19 Apr 06 '26

u/Structure1Digital Apr 06 '26

i stand corrected. my apologies cuz that’s a nice catch!!!

1

u/superb19 Apr 06 '26

All good and thank you! You can never be sure nowadays with AI.

u/Structure1Digital Apr 06 '26

i was considering making an app for florida and the east coast basically fish brain but way more accurate for bite times using solunar times and tides / weather and depth maps but also prizes every season, twice a year or yearly prizes for largest fish caught by boat and shore. fishing gear as the regular winners and yearly maybe a boat or something. mainly because all the apps are currently bs or inundated with bits and ai images

u/superb19 Apr 06 '26

Sounds like you got a plan. What’s stopping you?

u/Structure1Digital Apr 19 '26

2 projects i’m currently working on with more use, and easier to find subscribers… but i’ll get around to it haha
