My Sons and Mine First Bullreds

[1fastmerc]

We started off this morning hoping to get on some flounder action but that just didn't work out. So we headed to the jetties to try our luck at catching some Bullreds on cracked crab. I've never done this kind of fishing so this was a new experience for me. After some roller coaster riding to get out to the area I wanted to try. We anchored up and let the crab soaking begin. My son was the first to hook up with a brute. But not remembering to set the hook he lost after awhile of fighting it. He ended up with two break offs on 60lb braid and on a steel leader. I finally caught my first that went 23lbs a second that went 22lbs and a MONSTER stingray that broke my rod. That thing was scary looking and had my little boy run to the back of the boat after he realized what it was. I had let him reel it in but he was done as soon as I said stingray. Lol. He had the last cracked crab on when I thought he may not get to land a bullred that I was hoping he would catch. All of sudden his line takes off and the fight is on. He landed his first bullred at 16lbs. When we started to get the hook out of it we noticed the tail was covered in what looked like sand fleas. That was one of the most disgusting things I've seen. The whole time we catching the reds my son was telling to put the pictures on saltycajun. The only thing my wife caught was a bad case of the sea sickness. I never seen her so funny looking in my life. lol. My wife only took a video of the stingray and no pictures. So I don't have any pictures of it to post. I've always wanted to try this style of fishing and loved it. We made some memories that I'll never forget.
