May 28th thru Sept. 5th. Many people think you only have to pay the $25 entry fee but you must be a Member of CCA & pay $35 on top of the $25 each year. For 2022 a guy near me caught 1 but was Disqualified because he paid the entry fee but Academy Sports didn't tell him he needed to be a member. That's sweet, I've fished over 40yrs in the Freeport, Matagorda, San Luis Pass areas & never caught a tagged red. For 2022 you get a killa boat for biggest Gaftop & Black Drum between 24" to 28" Must read rules, cannot keep Tagged Reds. You gotta take a measurement then a pic with the measurement & cut the tag & release it
WOW, that RED had been caught at least 3X’s now. That dude is eating a lot! No wonder he seemed so calm, he’s been handled 3X’s now, next time he may see some ice or a Spanky’s!
That SuCKs! Would be my luck been busting ass and putting miles of wades in try get me one. Well I’ve never known anyone personally that caught one so the little I know you is the closest I’ve ever come to knowing someone that caught one lmao. Well I’ll tell your story on trips out fishing you made history and heck of a story bud!
Hey Mike, Thanks for sharing that. I wonder why someone would cut the tag off. Maybe someone selfish not entered in the contest and didn't want anyone else to enjoy the fruits. Sad ordeal. Tight lines brother...
Damn it man! That sucks. I can’t help but laugh knowing what happened for y’all that day. All around shit show. We will just blame the Capt for not taking you before it was caught the first time.
Curious what pfd do you use?
I use the auto inflating PFD’s
Mike, what wading belt are you using?. So close on the tag I have a feeling you will catch one one of these days
I use the hook set wading belt, best wading belt I’ve found.
@@TexasFishingForce thank you good sir, i appreciate it
Do they only tag them by the top fins? I once caught a red that had what looked like part of a tag, but was attached at the belly of the fish.
I believe it’s just the top.
Damn man that sucked, but hey good fishing. I need to start using topwater, do you recommend on calm or windy days or any, thanks
I use topwaters all the time, but I do like slightly calmer water.

HELL YEAH!!! BADAZZ! CONGRATULATIONS
Hello Mike... Just a quick question... Does one have to do anything before a Tagged Red is caught?
You have to register for the star CCA tournament
@@TexasFishingForce thank you for the info. Congratulations on that nice RED!
Nice! Just made it down. Hope to get some fishing in!
Good luck!
So almost, and a redfish twice lucky, and with the wreck, a lucky landing! Very neat
Yeah, it was a mess all around.
Great video I've been chasing a tag red can't seem to find it just yet
Well, hopefully you find one that’s still attached.
Maybe if you would have gotten there sooner, it would have still had a tag in it! #suckstosuck! 🤣
I’ll just blame the captain. 42mph was clearly not fast enough, lol.
This is just painful. Lol. We caught 16 of them a couple of weekends ago. No tags. Lol.
That’s awesome!
Wow. Just... wow. I dont even know what to say about that. Feels like someone owes you a drink!
I think so too, lol
Biggest kick to the nuts .. sending you a bro hug 😂😂
Lol, I appreciate it!
That was close at least you have a story now.
Omg. Man that is a story right there. At least you know where they release some or some hang out. Lol
Yeah, it was worth the story.
What a bummer. Maybe next time!👍
I hope so

I actually heard that. This fish is making the rounds, lol.

Speechless brother speechless…….. tight lines
Thank you! Tight lines brother
Still a great catch, just a few days too late! Know someone was really happy to catch that Red before you. Keep casting, and Tight Lines.
Guaranteed, maybe I’ll find another one.
Crazyyyyy
Wow
Hey Mike, Thanks for sharing that. I wonder why someone would cut the tag off. Maybe someone selfish not entered in the contest and didn't want anyone else to enjoy the fruits. Sad ordeal. Tight lines brother...
This year, that’s how you claim the prize. All of them are cut and then released.
@@TexasFishingForce ahhh...I had no idea. I was immediately thinking foul-play. Thanks for the education and tight lines bro...
Nice rod tho!
You know it! Lol. We actually had 7 Laguna son the boat between us.
OMG... You missed it by "..." that much. Tight Lines and Full Limits To Ya. 🎣
Yes I did, lol
I wish you would caught. That tagged red fish you deserve it
Thank you, me too!
"That fuckin' blows!"
For sure!
Damn the luck
That's f ☝ brother
Agreed
😭😭😭😭😭
My feelings exactly!
Damn it man! That sucks. I can’t help but laugh knowing what happened for y’all that day. All around shit show. We will just blame the Capt for not taking you before it was caught the first time.
I’m blaming Caleb too
