Here in Virginia we call them Red Drum if they're over 25 inches, they're puppy drum if they're less than 18. If they're on a menu, that's when you call them Redfish. Redfish are delicious Red Drum received slot fish designation several years back and as a result, they're getting huge now and the population is really coming back. Only 2 years ago the record catch was only 49. I know this because I caught one from land that was 48 long where the Piankatank empties into the Chesapeake. Once Red Drum become breeders and end up outside the slot size, they don't really taste very good, so I'm glad they're off the menu. They get gamey.

Today's my birthday and I just got a new fishing rod, and some new lures. And Josh, the best birthday present I could ever wish for is, well fishing gear and for you to pin this comment. If you do then you would make this the best birthday ever.

Fresh or salt water? Good video josh. My pb is an 8 pound largie. hope I can catch something bigger this summer. One last question, is the Neuse River any good for fishing? Looks about the same as most of the east coast but maybe a little smaller

Man those were some monster redfish, in all the years we charter fished for those, I think the largest we caught was around 42lbs and that was an unreal monster for Mississippi. I can't believe those are 35-40 average.
