I’m pretty much convinced that if I’d been raised on the coast instead of inland I would’ve initially become obsessed with redfish rather than bass. Now that I’ve caught them in Florida, Louisiana and South Carolina, I’m convinced that they offer most of the same attributes as largemouths – just more intense and tastier.
Venice is where I’ve caught the biggest ones – so far – but I’m still on the lookout for a vibrant red giant with a unique spot pattern. That’s when I’ll push the button on a replica. In the meantime, here are some samples I’ve investigated in advance.
