Tampa Bay Snook Redfish and Trout

Fun day yesterday with my good buddy Shane. We decided to get back to fishing some tournaments now that the new boat is done. We entered the Tighten the drag foundation slam tournament and took home second place slam with 88 3/4″ We caught a 40″ snook the morning of the tournament. Then moved on to get our redfish and snook . The water was super low all day. But managed to make a couple bucks and get a nice plaque. Book your trips!
