Leave it to a redfish

Bow fished our marsh in Holly Beach one year. We had shot a few reds early in the night and as we'd put them on the deck, they would spit up fresh eaten eels. Most of the water was low and chocolate milk that night. Came up to one of our boat trails that was a lil deeper than the rest of em, and when the light hit the water, it was crystal clear and reds and eels were everywhere!!!! These eels were from 2 inches long to 18 inches. All were identical and couldn't swim real well. They just kinda went with the tide. We ended up shooting our 25 reds and a few drum, and every single fish had eaten those eels. Prime example of nature adapting to what's offered at that time. I know a Norton sand eel tapers down in size, but all of these were the same shape across their whole body. Which in my opinion, I think a Lil John mimics these creatures more than a Norton does. I have more faith in a Lil John over a Norton as well.
