Sometimes Frantic Action

I've heard people joke about not hanging rods out of sides of the boat because the fishing was so good, but today that was played out -- twice. Lawrence Taylor and Capt. David Iverson scored a day-ending double when both of them laid down rods with dangling Bomber Pogies on them and turned to other tasks, only to have redfish attack both baits.
That finale was par for the courses on a day filled with doubles, break-offs, shark appearances and huge schools of redfish. We caught several "eaters" early but never could quite fill our limits because almost all the fish we caught this afternoon were more than 27 inches long and therefore above the slot.
One of many highlights for me was catching the most uniquely marked redfish I've ever seen. Really, though, the whole day was one giant highlight reel.
