Big Old Texas Redfish

I caught this 49” Redfish in Corpus Christi, Texas.

I’ve been a fishing guide in South Texas for years, and this is one I’ll never forget!

My client hooked into an absolute MONSTER 49-inch bull redfish in the Upper Laguna Madre near Corpus Christi, Texas.

This fish shattered my previous boat record of 46.5 inches, which had stood since September 2013! We’ve hooked redfish over 50 inches before but never managed to land one.

The fight was incredible, but the best part was watching this magnificent fish swim away strong to fight another day. I have tremendous respect for these creatures, and moments like this remind me why I love what I do.

49 inches of pure Texas redfish power! 🎣
