Geoffrey
Gable caught this nice Big Red while fishing in the Big Red Challenge
out of Whittacker Point Marina in Oriental on September 13.
Vin Infinito caught this beautiful Red on Bob Bruggeworth’s boat at
the “Challenge.” Two fish were hooked at the same time causing a slight
panic when both arrived at the boat simultaneously.
