Redfish, Sheepshead and Twisted Line

Comments Off on Redfish, Sheepshead and Twisted Line

I was after sheepshead, but could not keep giant reds from stripping my drag. Everyone should have problems like this! While the reds we caught were not as big as the one pictured here, we had all we could stand on the ones we caught.
