I live in the unsalted world of Michigan who annually travels to Alabama for a two week vacation with my wife. I literally fish 6-8 hours every day, however only it’s in front of the condo I am staying at. Usually decent catch of whiting, pompano, jacks, a ray or two, lady fish, and a few of those “what the hek is it”? Anyway, I met a guy from Tennessee who also lives to fish and we decided to to venture to a more remote spot that requires hauling gear in my surf cart a mile or so. With a cooler of freshly frozen mullet we set out at 3 am and had rods and bait soaking by 4:30. The sky was turning orange from the coming sunrise and it was chaos. A school of Bull red drum were on the chew. I brought a knife to a gun fight(light tackle for bigger game). 8-10 minute battle insude and landed this joker. We went 3-4 on bull reds. These are over slot, spawned, and also known to have worms in the flesh so they lived to fight and breed.
