I caught my first bull red today at my friends house (he lives on a canal) with 3 more of his friends. half of them leave to bring back something from one of their houses, i still dont know what it was. they left their rods out, and i put new bait on all of them. one of them had a hook WAY too big for speckled trout, which is what we were trying to catch. i put a huge dead shrimp on for no good reason, i just wanted to. dont ask why. i stuck the rod in the holder and dropped the shrimp just a few feet from land. i went inside to get a bottle of gatorade, and came back outside. and then i saw a huge 50 pounder bull red come and snatch the bait and start swimming. i let it take some line because i read they were a really fun fight somewhere and i didn’t wanna just snatch it right out. there was nobody outside except for one random person living across the canal, i asked if they could help net it and sure enough they came. it fought for a good 30 minutes (keep in mind it was on a rod and reel meant to catch trout and

Is this in the Chesapeake bay?

[@raymondperales6612]

Nice video.

[@freddyg1692]

I think if you use a full crab your hook should be a lil bit bigger then what your using.

[@genesisnkaidence8519]

Why would you sacrifice tasty blue crab to catch a fish?.I would rater eat crab

[@operatorspectre7428]

Well, some people like the taste of fish more.. But the best part is fighting the fish.. Reaping the benefits of your labor, being able to take a picture of it and making fun memories..

[@alvinle5783]

What would you prefer 1oz of meat or 30 lbs of fresh fish sometime we need to sacrifice a small fish to harvest a big one.
