Yvonne Norman and her brother Will Van Duyn were trolling live menhaden around Nine Mile Reef off St. Augustine on June 16 when they caught a fish that will likely break a 40-year-old world record.⁠ ⁠ After a long fight, they landed the giant African pompano and took it to Beamish Custom Tackle in St. Augustine, where owner Roland Beamis used a certified scale to weigh it. The 44-inch-long fish officially weighed 40.08 pounds. Several people witnessed the weighing, including a pair of policemen who happened to be in the shop. Norman used 20-pound class tackle to catch her African pompano. She will be submitting her leader and line samples used in her catch, along with paperwork to the International Game Fish Association for a new woman’s 20-pound test line class record for African pompano.⁠ ⁠ Tap the link in profile for the full story 🔗⁠ ⁠ #fishing #fishingtrip #fishingseason #pompano #africanpompano #florida #floridafishing #igfa #outdoors #outdoorlife⁠ 📷: Yvonne Norman⁠ Story by: B...
