Two Catch a Florida Memory anglers had a record-setting spring, reeling in three new Saltwater State Records this year, so far.
In January, the Florida Fish and Wildlife Conservation Commission’s (FWC) Division of Marine Fisheries Management launched three new Saltwater State Records Categories: Adult and Youth Length categories for catch and release records and a Youth All-Tackle Weight category.
Julia Bernstein logged a 20-pound, 15-ounce cobia and a 1-pound, 8-ounce mangrove (gray) snapper to land her two new state records in Youth All-Tackle Weight.
After a strong release, Joseph Ingold’s 36.25-inch red drum earned him the new state length record in Adult Length.
