Captain Troy Perez displays a sweet 20-pound class redfish caught in the Titusville area of the Mosquito Lagoon. Representatives from Quantum and Fin-Nor hosted a spectacular morning fishing trip for Salt Water Sportsman where new gear was tested and performed flawlessly. Over fifty plus redfish were caught and released in only three hours time. The gang left them biting, though some anglers had “one-more-cast” syndrome that left them late for lunch! Nick Honachefsky
