The boat cuts through the calm waters. Mangroves line the shore creating a natural habitat. We scan the surface for signs of redfish. A splash catches our attention. We cast our lines towards the disturbance. The bait lands with a soft plop. We wait patiently for a bite. Suddenly the rod bends sharply. The fight is on. The redfish pulls hard trying to escape. We hold on tight reeling carefully. After a tough battle we see a flash of copper. The redfish appears its signature spot visible near the tail. We net the fish and admire its beauty before releasing it back to its watery home.
