Rough day. 5/19

[Top Dawg]

Fished a little church tourney with my little girl this morning. Started off slow. Picked up a couple flounder and a couple small trout. She broke off on a nice red and a flounder. Moved to a reef and found some hungry redfish.

Ran further south and found a few small trout nothing worth keeping. Had 2 nice trout on top 3-4 lb? Threw the hook. Saw lots of boats in longpoint/washout area. Ran back to where we started and tried again. After pickin up a bunch of 25" reds on top the bite I was lookin for finally came. A suction cup sound and fish on drag spinning. Got my net ready had the fish up to the boat. 6-7lb? Reached for the net andone head shake....

Pulled the hooks out of my skiterwalk. Never thought to check the split ring. Next time I get into a bunch of reds I'll make a point to look at that. Cost me a good one. But we had a good time and the little girl got to catch her a drum/speck/hardhead and flounder.
