A beautiful slot 24.5 inch slot Red caught on Vudu artificial shrimp. In my opinion a Redfish is the hardest-fighting "INSHORE FISH"‼️ Prove me wrong ⬇️ if you think otherwise. BTW there isn't a wrong answer. Everyone has different experiences and fish in different parts of the country. 🔥Lets get it🔥
