Sunrise photos capture unique images on Lea Island

Mac Roop of Jacksonville, N.C. was camped out on Lea Island this week, and captured a series of photos showing him hook into and land a 29-inch red drum. Luckily, he’d just set up a camera to take a time lapse of the sunrise. The fish hit the rod that was in the frame. That’s great timing!

Check out the series of photos to see a beautiful sunrise and a beautiful redfish.

With the sunrise urging him on, Roop fought the fish in the surf.

 

The red drum was looking for an early morning snack, and put up a good fight for Roop.

 

Roop caught, then released the over-the-slot drum wondering if it’s possible to experience a better start to a day than this.
