Think You`ve Caught a Big One?

Staff Writer

Even a small fish on the line can feel like a whopper when you use light tackle, but nothing beats the feel of hooking into a really big one. The sound of that line singing out of the reel is an instant adrenaline rush!

The Florida Fish and Wildlife Conservation Commission have recorded the following "big catches". If you think you have a record breaker, contact the Commission at:
