Alabama’s New Blue Marlin Record: A Catch for the Ages
In the world of sportfishing, the State of Alabama has witnessed a monumental achievement:
On Thursday, October 19th, 2023 a 1,145.6-pound blue marlin was weighed in at the Mobile Big Game Fishing Club in Orange Beach, AL, setting a new record for the largest Marlin ever caught in state waters.
For context, the previous Alabama state record stood at 851.9 lbs. This was set by Ginger Myers from Louisiana, a memorable catch dated July 5, 2020.
This remarkable feat was accomplished by seasoned angler, Scooter Anderson, aboard the ‘Best Trait’, which is captained by Capt Chris Mowad.
