 Anybody eat the big bull reds?
Caught a nice one yesterday, heard something about them having worms when they're big like this. Any info on this?

They are ok. Just cut all the blood out. They're best in a court boullion.

 Re: Anybody eat the big bull reds?
You can eat the breeders like that.......since you already killed that one. Best best is to let 'em swim.

In texas it's 28". You get one bull red tag with your license, but you can also buy another one

 Re: Anybody eat the big bull reds?
I throw all of them back. I like the 18 inch to 20 inch Reds the best.

I usually keep them 22-24 if I have the choice. I have been before with 3 of us in the boat and couldn't get a limit cause everything was over 28". Finally after 2 1/2 hrs of non stop catching fish we finally had 8 28" fish, so I used a tag on a 29" just to have 3 to bring home. ImageUploadedByTapatalk1423548283.923971.jpg I let this one go, 52"

 Re: Anybody eat the big bull reds?
we shot these three 28" the other night. Dunno how they will taste. I fileted them out completely, and cut as much of the red out as possible and made small filets then soaked them in I've water to bleed the meat a Lil more then set them on a cookie sheet in the freezer to dry them out a Lil and then vacuum packed them and put them in the freezer. I hope it will be worth all the trouble lol

 Re: Anybody eat the big bull reds?
Does the time of the year determine if those bulls have worms? I worked on a platform about 6 miles out and we caught a few of those big boys and they all had worms in the meat.

 Re: Anybody eat the big bull reds?
I agree that the the big boys up to about 30 inches are ok. I just prefer the smaller ones. Where I fish it is pretty easy to catch redfish so I try and keep the smallest legal ones I can. I love smoking the 18 inch reds
