Anglers displaying caught redfish and speckled trout on fishing boat in Pleasanton TX

The Haynie cut through calm waters. Captain Larry pointed to a promising spot. We anchored near a grass flat. The air was thick with anticipation. Suddenly a redfish tailed in the shallows. Its copper scales shimmered in the sunlight. I cast my line. The lure landed perfectly. A moment of suspense. Then a powerful strike. The fish pulled hard. The rod bent double. It was a battle of strength and skill. After a thrilling fight the redfish was landed. A beautiful bull red. Photos were taken. Memories were made.
