Caminada Pass: a couple of personal bests

[MathGeek]

Just got back from a week in GI. Given all the rain and single digit salinities, we wanted to be as close to the Gulf as we could get. The usual tricks from the linked articles are still working very well. My son and I hooked up with two personal bests at the same time at spot 1 in the Times-Picayune article, and we landed them both, a 39 lb 45.75" redfish (son) and a 42 lb 42" black drum (me). This is the same spot I caught my personal best redfish (32 lb 43"ish) in December. All fish caught at spots 1 and 4 last week on crawfish and (mostly) crab. We fished a lot of mullet, but it only caught catfish.

Assuming you keep the fish to eat, how are those big reds table wise? And congrats on PB

The big reds are great on the table. The fishier flavors are all in the red bits of meat, so my family trims it very carefully.

The meat is firm (like chicken) so it is great on the grill, even on ka-bobs.

It can also be used as a substitute for chicken in a number of dishes. Our family likes it this way in oriental dishes and redfish parmesan.
