Reds will eat anything. I know I shouldnt be saying this but I have caught them on whole kingfish and whole spanish mackeral. The kingfish was about 13-16lbs and the spanish mack was a monster smack. The reds caught on these baits were 44+ inches long. During the run, I bet the reds are out there eating anything that moves. There have been days that I cant keep a line in the water for longer than a 5 count. Oh, at the time I didnt know I couldnt use those fish for bait!!!! ( I had no idea that using kings and smacks was illegal, cough cough)
Yep, always a cool story and the pics are quality. I can't believe though in 6 years I'm th only person raising the flag on this post though. I've caught 44 inch redfish. I would like to see the redfish that can eat at 13-16lb kingfish. I can't see it happening with 44 in redfish, I'd have to see pics or video to believe. Even a 44" striper and as large as their mouth is, would have a tough time with a bait that large. 13-16inches... all day long. 3-6lbs, sure. 13-16 lbs?
