Sunday I had the delight of looking at another hazy
Grand Isle sunrise over the Gulf of Mexico.
For the past 40 years, I have seen many of these stunning mornings while either photographing, scuba diving or fishing
on the coast of Louisiana. The humid air
makes the haze. Then a thundercloud partially hides the sunrise, thus making this special time of day even more
picturesque.

Just about the time it was full daylight, Jim
Roland gets a strike on light weight 10 pound test line while fishing a voodoo shrimp. He quickly realized it was going to be a
fight, which was confirmed 45 minutes later. That's when Macon Roland used the net to
help him pull the 29-pound bull red into the boat. That’s a redfish. Jimbo posed while he grinned widely
then Jacob Roland gently placed the fish back in the Gulf to breed again. A day
well spent in Louisiana’s prolific coastal waters.
