Saved a Redfish

As we fished the entrance to the St Johns River, we watched a redfish float by us on the surface struggling to swim. When we went over and checked her out we found her air bladder blown up - she was belly up and could not get right in the water. Someone brought her up before her bladder could adjust and then released her. We took her on board, snapped this picture and then vented her air bladder. A few minutes of reviving in the water and she kicked and swam off! Quite a fish - we estimated at well over 30 pounds.
