Was it all a dream or did this actually take place? Even as an experienced profession fishing guide, I am still shaking my head and asking this question after two unbelievable and unforgettable days this past week.
Tom Ress from Athens AL and his long-time friend, Ed from Lexington, KY, decided to take a couple of days and go fishing prior to attending the 24 hour endurance race in Daytona Beach. Fishing on the shallow flats near Titusville (40 miles east of Orlando), these two anglers caught more than 20 redfish – 16 of which were over 30 inches and 9 of which exceeded 40 inches. In addition, they chased and caught huge black drum in the shallow, clear water in glass-like conditions. All fish were taken with light spinning tackle and released to be fought on another day. Since words really can not adequately describe the action we will just let the pictures tell the rest of the story.
