Congrats!!!

I myself had the junior world record for weakfish (9.46lbs) back when I was about 9 or 10yrs old (I think). Lost it a few years back to Tred Barta's kid. Wasnt a big fish really, but was bigger than the existing record by more than 2lbs.

My first weakfish trip was a great one. My dad and I were fishing light tackle and didn't expect to get anything big. My first fish that I hooked up with was a nice "4 pounder," as my dad would call it. The next fish was definately bigger. It put up a good fight, and this one was "7 pounds." I cought one more fish right after that, the same size. All the while, my dad was breaking off all his fish! When we got back to the dock, the fish were way bigger than expected. The littlest was 7#s, and the biggest of the fish were both 9.5#s. This made my biggest fish 7 oz.s short of the junior record. I was so bummed because my dad said they were smaller, so we put them on ice for at least 4 hours! O well! I guess I'll just have to get out there and catch another big one!
