Several schools of the giant redfish, 45 to 52 inches and weighing 30 to 40 lbs, have returned to the shallow flats for the summer and fall. Thus far we’ve caught at least one of these monsters on each of our most recent fishing charters including the one pictured below and being held by Doug and Ginna Edwards of Raleigh, North Carolina. For the record, Ginna was the angler who bested this beast which measured a true 48 inches and, with its enormous girth, weighed a guestimated 40 pounds.
