Finally edited the video from Saturday before Thanksgiving. I didn’t realize I missed so many fish early on, probably because I caught so many later that day. Hopefully the video will shine a little light on how crazy, productive the fishing was a couple weekends back. Keep an eye out for the spooked reds in the clear water.
Read an interesting article from American Angler the other day about breaking rods. Thought it was fitting after breaking a rod while trying to net a red during Redfishfest. I high sticked (or is it high stuck) him and the rod snapped as soon as I moved my rod past vertical. The funny thing was that after watching the video from the day I was doing all the right things at first, then the fish made another run, and I moved the rod position to the front of my body to gain extra leverage. It was a bad idea and the rod broke. I made a little video about it below. Be sure check out the article from American Angler. A broken rod is usually your fault, as was the case for me.
