The sun glints off the calm waters of Tampa Bay. Our boat gently rocks as we cast our lines. The air is thick with anticipation. Suddenly a tug on the line. A flash of copper in the water. The redfish fights hard pulling the rod down. We struggle to reel it in. Finally it surfaces. A beautiful 41-inch Sciaenops Ocellatus. We admire its spotted tail before releasing it back to the depths. Another perfect day on the water.
