A couple years ago I was fishing with Capt. Ron when I hooked into what I was convinced would be the biggest red I ever caught. We had caught multiple bull reds 36-42” in the same area when Ibam - my reel was screaming and I could not stop the fish. Turned out to be a 5-6ft bull shark!

I bet that Redfish fight just as hard!
