In May of 2004, I caught the Women's IGFA World Record Red Snapper on flyrod while fishing near Cocodrie, LA. It weighed a whopping 22-pounds and still stands as the heaviest fly-caught red snapper in the world. Ironically, a Canadian TV crew was on our boat that day shooting a show,called "The New Flyfisher," so needless to say they were thrilled to have it on film. The snapper was hooked and landed in 130-ft. of water while tied off an oil rig in the Gulf of Mexico. I also hold numerous other World Records for saltwater fly fishing for various species.
