Troy and I were bait fishing at the Duck Pond by our house, and I caught a baby Redfish.
Guinness wasn’t there to document the event, but I have never seen or heard of anyone catching a redfish this small on a hook.
I caught the tiniest redfish I’ve ever seen.
We did a quick measure, and he came in at about five inches long.
It’s not common to catch redfish babies in nets but I had no idea you could actually catch one on a baited hook.
He was just a wee bit undersized – 13 inches to be exact – so we unhooked him and tossed him back.
I hope he lives a happy life in the Duck Pond and then ends up back on my hook when he’s grown a foot or so.
