Bull Redfish Caught in the Surf at Cameron Louisiana!

This Bull Redfish was caught last fall (2000) at Rutherford beach close to Cameron. Here is his story. We just wanted to picnic at the beach. I always bring my gear anyway and decided to toss a line in. A couple of guys down the way gave me a finger mullet and I caught a few catfish but that was it. We were getting ready to leave when I felt something I thought it was just another hard-head, but soon realized it was something else. He weighed 45 lbs and it took me a good 15 minutes to get him in, I had to wade into the surf and grab him by the tail, I was using a freshwater outfit with 10lb test. Very exciting, can't wait to try it a again.
