Caught this little one while fishing today. Ladyfish are one of those species that are both a blast to catch and a total nuisance at the same time.
They hit just about anything, jump like crazy, and slime up everything on the boat — but when the bite slows down, they make some of the best cut bait you can get for snook, redfish, or tarpon.
Can’t decide if I love ‘em or hate ‘em 😅
What’s everyone else’s take — do you keep them for bait or toss them back?

Keep em if i anticipate I need cut bait, toss em back otherwise.
Dude, put a big bait hook on and hook that lady fish behind the dorsal fin. Free line it and prepare.
Everything in the ocean eats lady fish.
