Big redfish wont break your 10 weight fly rod once the hook has been set. Set hook by pointing the rod directly at the fish and stripping with force. Be sure to have a good grip on the line because there will be a strong response. Then slowly lift your rod and let the loose line play out until youre fighting the fish from your reel. Use pressure from your palm to increase drag. If you are wading in shallow water, dont use a net because it always gets tangled in your line or stringer. Just push the fish down to the bottom with your hand and remove the hook.

Jay - enjoyed the video and have been fishing with Captain Rich for about 20 years. You referred to him as an ex Marine but he is actually Vietnam War combat veteran Col. Richard Waldner USMC Retired. He is one the original sight fly fishing guides in that area along with Captains Mark Brockhoeft and Kirby LaCour. Thank you for your service Capt Rich.

Bro, your nose. oh man I cant stop laughing/cringing. This is perfect Taro to the T, pun intended!
I am 61 seconds in and I cant stop laughing I had to stop and post this before even watching the video. Kudos to whoever did the make up and made you pretty for the big day. I didnt notice it at all in the few video clips I saw from Clayton et al.

Great video, I'm glad you enjoyed your trip to Louisiana. A tip for future reference, please don't hang big fish by the mouth on a boga or other scale, you can damage their mandibles. I catch a lot of big redfish, when I need to weigh them I weigh them in the net than tare the weight of the net.

Mr.
I kind of find it weird that you are trout hook set for these fish. I'm use to fly fish fish for pikes and bass (Canada eh) and I'm all strip hook set. Even these pros hook set with the rod. Anyway, hook set apart, super nice vid! These red's are also on my bucket list. I really enjoyed.

Another awesome video Jay.
This is definitely something Id love to do one day.
Gutted you snapped your rods, and Helios rods at that.
You should add Kingfish on fly to your bucket list if it isnt already.
Much love from Sydney Australia.
Cheers, Chris

I was surprised to hear him say that bull reds are classified by weight. That is not the case. A bull red is any redfish 27 or greater. Out of your limit of 5, only one 27+ can be kept. But man. that looked like a heck of a good time catching them on a fly rod!

Snapped rod would put a damper on my attitude. Redfish are a blast to catch for sure. More fish fighting and landing is always better than talking to us. Super awesome work!

I just watched your redfish video and loved it. That is something I would also love to do. I couldn't believe you had two rods break. How funny and exciting.
