Jonathan Clarke+FollowAlabama angler’s wild 550-lb swordfish catchA Birmingham fisherman just shattered Alabama’s swordfish record with a 550-pound giant—over 100 pounds heavier than the last! What started as a slow day near Orange Beach turned into a 4.5-hour battle against a monster fish, all while the crew scrambled with makeshift gear and no big fish bag in sight. Even a storm couldn’t stop them from bringing this beast home. The best part? The catch became a family memory, with the angler and his dad celebrating together. Imagine reeling in a fish bigger than you! Would you have the patience (and muscle) for a fight like that? #News #AlabamaFishing #RecordCatch00Share
Karen Huynh+FollowAlabama angler reels in a deep-sea giantA quiet night offshore turned legendary when Taylor Guidry pulled in a 161.6-pound escolar—nearly 60 pounds heavier than Alabama’s previous state record! The catch, made 120 miles off the coast during a saltwater tournament, stunned everyone on board. Instead of mounting the rare fish, Guidry chose to create a traditional ink print and donated the escolar to researchers for study. Imagine battling a mystery fish for two hours in the dark, only to land a species few have ever seen up close. Would you have kept the fish, or done what Guidry did? #News #AlabamaFishing #DeepSeaAdventure10Share
