“Trailing”

The flats hold their breath. The redfish doesn’t.

Trailing captures one of inshore fishing’s most primal moments — a red drum (Sciaenops ocellatus) locked onto a shrimp, closing the distance with the slow, purposeful confidence of a fish that owns its environment. Rendered in graphite and charcoal, the piece zeroes in on everything that makes the redfish an obsession: the copper-scaled flank, the signature eyespot near the tail, and the raw, coiled power of a predator hunting in inches of water.

Red drum range the Atlantic and Gulf coasts from Massachusetts to Mexico, but it’s the shallow marsh and flat-water fish — tailing, pushing wakes, shadowing structure — that have built a cult following among sight-fishing purists. This drawing is for those anglers. And for anyone who’s ever watched a redfish and felt their pulse shift.
