26.5" Redfish
 

I took some customers fishing yesterday. It was a little windy but the temperature was very nice for this time of year. The great part is I caught a 26.5" redfish. We were fishing in a tournament, so had to turn it in, but someone took a picture of me with the fish and my fishing team.

While I was out, my wonderful husband stayed home and did laundry and cleaned house. He had fun telling everyone about our roll reversal today at church.

He's been giving me a hard time about my big fish story. Can't wait to get a copy of the picture so I can prove it to him. ;)

All in all, it was a very good day, and my customers had a wonderful time.

Congratulations! That's a BIG fish!
I too enjoy fishing but have no one to go with, so haven't gone in far too long.

WOW that must have been some fish! When you get the photo, please come and show us here :) My son and husband love to fish, i will show them the pic!

Glad you had a great day ;)

Congratulations!!! What a fish!! I love to fish, use to be my favorite thing to do. I could sit in a boat or along the bank and solve the worlds problems..so peaceful. Haven't been in quite some time though, maybe I need to get back to it.:)

HOLY MOSES! That's a good size Red...man they're fighters, too! That's so awesome!

The only time I caught a Red, I seriously thought I had a shark on the other end of that line. We fought FOREVER! LOLOL

Wow! What an exciting weekend! You obviously have a wonderful hubby! I bet he wishes he was the one out there fishing, but instead, he stayed home and did chores. How sweet. :)

Thank you for all of your kind comments. It was a fighter. The strange thing was, I'd been up since 4:30 a.m. and it was around 2:30 p.m. I'd stopped fishing and figured I'd bait hooks for the guys. I looked in the bait bucket, and there was this dead stinky shrimp. The shell was turning pink it had been in the water in the sun for so long, so I got my rod and baited my hook and figured I'd throw it out and see if a hard head hit it. I had my rod laying across my lap when the redfish hit. I grabbed the rod and told the guys, I got something, and it's big. It was fun working it up to the boat and even better when we saw what it was. Quite a thrill.

My husband doesn't care much about fishing, but after telling him about this, he's thinking we may invite a couple that we know to go fishing with us. The guy grew up here, but he's never been fishing, and his wife is from Russia and hasn't fished in years. Anyway we know of another guide I'd like to test out before using him with customers, so we may hire him for a day and take this couple out. Now that would be a lot of fun.

Now all we have to do it wait for the pictures....hint, hint, hint!!!! :D

I'm waiting, too. The lady that took them said she would send them as soon as she downloaded them to her computer. I asked her yesterday, and she hadn't done it yet!! Wish she'd hurry!!

Don't ya wish that things important to us like "fish pictures" were just as important to them...LOL:D

LOL I'm just as impressed that you would touch and bait a stinky old shrimp as that you could catch such a big fish!!!

My hat's off to you, my friend!!!!:thumbup:

AWESOME! Way to go girl!!! I hope you can post a pic whenever you get it! And what a great surprise that hubby did house maintainance while you were out having fun!!

I still don't have a picture!! I'm going to have to get after my friend with the camera!!!

This weekend my husband has lots of work to do, so guess I get to take my turn at cleaning and laundry. Bummer.:(

That is a bummer.. You need to tell your friend that you a whole lot of women waiting on the pictures...and that we want to see your fish.
