EPIC day for me! Caught 5 Red Drum. 4 over slot, 1 keeper. But the highlight was helping this 8 year old, who had been watching me catch these drum, he ask if he could cast out next to me. And sure enough, a 30” Red Drum hit his line. So fun to see a little kid fight a fish like that. Biggest fish of his life.
