Cool! The guy who put up the video is over in Texas, and it says all vids were shot over there. Notice how all the reds are almost identical in size? It makes me think a wad of them hatch and just stay together until they get to a certain age, maybe at the point to where they move offshore or start spawning. We've sat in one place in a bayou near Grand Isle, LA and caught over 120 reds in 3 hours, and all of them were about 18 inches. I've also fished spots in Tampa Bay where we caught 15-20 reds in an hour or so and they were all 30-32 inches. It's a lot of fun, that's for sure!
Sweet.
I just spent two months in cameron parish and south east texas and holy wow the fishing is incredable. 5 reds per day limit and 15 trout. Oh if you like drum and 5 pound flounder woo wee we got a mess of the and ate good.

When we lived in Baton Rouge we went duck hunting down south of Sulfur near the Sabine NWR. We had a real coon-ass guide that made the best duck gumbo and cat-head biscuits! It had been cold the week before we went, and then the three days we were there it never got below 70! Those ducks were two miles high, and not even thinking of landing. On the way home, we hit the edge of a cold front and drove through sleet from Lake Charles to Baton Rouge!
We went down to Port Arthur one weekend and stayed with one of my mom's uncles. His wife was originally from the LA side of the Sabine. She made the best hushpuppies I ever had. And Uncle Max made some hellacious meatballs! We fished around Sabine Pass and caught a good mess of reds, flounder and trout. This was back in like 1979-80 when there weren't many limits. May have just been a minimum size limit. We only kept what we could use, but it was a few more than 5 reds each!
