Fisherman Spears World Record Size Tautog -25 lbs!
 
1 Attachment(s)
On August 18, spearfisherman Brendan Dryer shot a pending world-record tautog (blackfish) in New London, Connecticut. It weighed in at 25.1 pounds and was 31.75 inches long. Dryer tracked the fish for over an hour before finally getting his shot.
This fish has been submitted to the IUSA committee for voting, which could replace the current record of 23.9 pounds.

(I've been accused of wearing my pajamas when fishing, but this guy is over the top!)

That thing is a beast!

So what's easier? Catching a world record by hook and line or spearfishing one? Both impressive, but I've gotta say that catching one by hook and line is more challenging.

I don't know...I see a hell of a lot more people fishing from boats than I do see trying to spear underwater.

Im sure there is great skill in spearfishing and that is some trophy but I don’t see any reason to kill a fish like that. Sorry for the boohoo

Not trying to rain on your parade but I don’t see any reason to kill a fish like that. I have a soft spot for blackfish.

So you’re going to let them die of old age? Let them rot on the bottom?
