Golden croaker on steroids!? Cool! (Video)

Bull redfish are the most easily accessible powerhouse fish for saltwater anglers. And while many overlook or consider them to be “gold croaker on steroids” I absolutely adore them. I caught the big fish in this video today at the Sabine Jetties while testing out some new tackle and experimenting with some techniques. More on that part in another entry.

I will leave you with the video and a reminder that you can chum in these big reds. The fishing was terribly slow but a chum line made of mashed menhaden brought in this beast along with a few sharks.
