🇺🇸 Red drum

That's a handsome striped bass laid out on the boards, nose right at the 23-inch mark and still running past the top of the Rapala measure — a proper fish however you label it. Bottom fishing did the job here, and the fish looks thick and healthy with clean, bold stripes. Congratulations on getting this one over the rail, and thanks for sharing the photo with the rest of us. A slow bottom presentation is a classic way to put a bass like this on the deck, and it clearly paid off.
