😳 Holy Cow!!! I thought it was a redfish!

This speckled trout was super fat and pulling drag like a redfish. I was honestly surprised when I saw that she wasn’t a red.

[@wade1559]

You release the trout that size?! That's the day you rocked the fishing world. Is a true sportsman

[@ZombieBacon13]

Gotta release the fish that make the most babies

[@SaltedFishing]

That's a UNIT of a trout!

[@Dan-ez6dr]

That was a solid trout. In days gone by, the entire Dollar Point area was a great trout hangout, especially the oyster reef. The flood gate is a landmark for the whole upper Galv bay.👍

[@MDLRFishing]

For sure!
