Big Bags and Catches

Ashley Weldon was fishing for shark on South Padre Island when she caught and released this bull red, on an 11-inch whiting. She rigged the rod herself down to sharpening the hook and even caught the whiting it ate. Paul Salinas caught this 24-inch speckled trout while fishing in the Lower Laguna Madre out of Arroyo City. Grandpa and Dad fished hard for three days and caught a few reds but Paul went out one afternoon and within 20 minutes hooked this nice speck which was the biggest fish of the trip. Five-year-old Diego Trevino of San Antonio killed his first 12-pointer in Brooks County while hunting with his dad, J.G. Trevino.
