Took my buddies stepdaughter out for her first offshore experience.....well few miles out cause we were in a bayboat....she is 15yrs old.....my daughter was unable to make the trip...found a shrimp boat around 10am...anchored off so tried trolling around it for some kings with no luck....as i approached the stern of the boat there were a few small ling i noticed....wanted her to feel the fight on a trout rod, so i let her flip a redfish magic spinnerbait out....all the sudden instead of a 24 inch ling eating the lure a 39 inch smoked it.....very long fight but she hung in there.....she caught 2 more ling on bigger tackle and was so excited....the others were both at 48 inches....not sure of the weight.....she said she wants to go back....soon
