louisiana needs to catch up. can't believe mississippi and florida beating us in biggest marlin. and ours was back in 77.

mississippi: 1,054 (2002)
florida: 1046 (2001)
louisiana: 1018 (1977)
texas: 972 (2014)
alabama: 845 (2013)

Once in a life time fish, fishing the Gulf. Would give my right nut to be on the other end of that fish.

Why do they have state records when these fish are caught hundreds of miles off the coast? The only one I'm familiar with is the Gulf record which was caught by Barry Carr.

also, that must be a pretty shitty tournament if they only won 40k for that fish

yeah, just looked at it, only a 5k entry fee...

so they probably burnt 10k in fuel, nice little profit

reading all these stories and how awesome everyones gear is and still these fish get off? WTF? That's pretty fricking stupid. Get a bigger damn rod and reel to ensure they don't get spooled.
