Any of you guys need a tip on sharks for the tourney let me know. I've seen big lemons and bulls on almost every dive lately.. It wouldn't be a bad thing if you guys plucked a few of them... I've seen several 6 to 8 footers and one that was at least 9 feet. He's probably still got an imprint on his head from my fin kicking him.....

Might have been Junior class?? IFGA guy was there talking that he was sure it was a record.

Here ya go:

The Destin Log: 14 year-old Rebecca Hyde from Mississippi pulled in a 10.4 lb. Trigger fish on Saturday as part of the Larry Hatchett Fishing Foundation?s fun. Rebecca was aboard Capt Jim Westbrook?s New Florida Girl about 11 miles out. Capt Westbrook and Jim Roberson from the International Game Fish Association believe it may be a world record. She was the trophy winner with the largest fish caught today for the group and she is the leader on the Weigh Board for the Youth Division aboard a Party Boat.

What's the IGFA's junior record triggerfish for her age group? I can't get to them without being a member anymore..
