OMG that's an easy twenty pound plus Mutton, the Black - I'm jealous.
Either way they did very well and good to see.
Yea Art, I agree! Those fish where on top of 150 quart cooler.
Yea.... but by the truckload! Wish you guys could make that trip.

73 lb. Black Grouper by Brian Campbell.
Greg chime on this one?
That's my good friend Hector, not just a Florida record but the the All Tackle World Record Margate, a few details, Capt. Matt Earl saw the fish land on deck and said " that's a world record" also I had to convince Hector to go thru with he whole thing about certifying the fish with IGFA regs, he was too tired and did not want to bother, also the white cooler and the black tote in the background are my fish, it holds a 21.5 lb. mutton and 4 twenty pounders among other muttons, not enough room in white cooler.
I have never been lucky enough to even come close to that process but have heard it is somewhat of a hassle....give us a clue Art!
whatta a pain,
Go find a IGFA certified scale and a IGFA weight master on a Sunday afternoon, not an easy task
make sure you take pictures of the fish on the scale with clearly legible weight of the fish
another picture of you next to fish hanging from scale
Get the name, phone number and address of boat's captain, boat's mate, and willing witnesses.
Fill out your section of the IGFA application form and mail the rest to the boat's captain for him to complete, relate a brief course of events and submit to IGFA head quarters
Submit to IGFA 50 feet of line (must also include the leader and actual hook)
Wait upwards of three months for their decision. :rotflmao
Biggest muttons were a 24.5 and 25.5 pounds.
Just got in today. Had three blacks between 39 and 45 pounds. Plus some 20's.
