Big POC fish

Big POC fish - 06/10/20 06:42 PM

Continuing my enjoyment of retirement I just spent a few days in Port O'Connor fishing with friends. That Jack took forever to get in. Picked it up below a school of Bull Reds. One of two Jacks we caught. Just awesome seeing all those giant Reds darting across the top of the water and flipping everywhere chasing bait fish all the while birds darting into the water all around them. Caught and released several. At least once we had three Bull Reds on at the same time. Saw some fly fishing guys with guides doing real well too despite the wind.

Some great Reds for sure and a ton of fun indeed!

I caught a Jack about like that one about 12 years ago down in the land cut.
I caught him on some lightweight gear with 14lb test line. We chased that sonofagun for about 20-30 minutes with the trolling motor so he wouldn't spool me. lmao

I blackened some Reds last night on the grill and made fish tacos for us.....GOOD STUFF man!

You can spend a lot of time on those Jacks. The make you think you are hung on the bottom at times. Did you keep you one oversize red?

No, I was saving the tag in case we had one that did not recover well or if one got hooked deep. I have plenty of fish in the freezer still from other fishing this year.
