Texas Man Breaks State Red Snapper Record

A South Texas man reeled in the largest red snapper ever recorded off the Texas coast.
Joey Beaver, of Victoria, bagged a 40-inch, 38.75 pound red snapper about five miles off the coast of Port O'Connor, a small fishing community between Corpus Christi and Galveston, in the Gulf of Mexico on June 1.
quote:
Beaver's catch beat two state records for red snapper, including the State Rod and Reel Record and the Water Body Record, according to the Texas Parks and Wildlife Department. The previous record was held by Jack Brumby, who in 1998 caught a 38.13 pound red snapper.
quote:
The world record for red snapper, weighing 50 lbs. and 4 oz., was caught in the Gulf of Mexico off the Lousiana coast by Doc Kennedy in 1996, according to the International Game Fish Association.

I've caught about 15-16 pound snapper and I thought that was pretty big.
