Fort Myers fishing: world record grouper!
Sunday, 6/7/15, Fort Myers Fishing: possible world record grouper caught in gulf!
As reported by news-press.com
“Just when Alex Newman was ready to give up and declare defeat at a charity fishing tournament Saturday, history hit his line.
The fish that took the Bonita Springs man’s hook turned out to be a specimen that could break a 12-year-old world record.
Newman managed to land the 124.18-pound fish to win the 3rd Annual Offshore Rodeo Fishing Tournament to benefit Ronald McDonald House Charities Southwest Florida.
The tournament was held out of Bootleggers Waterfront BBQ and Salty Sam’s Marina.”

Most of the time we’re within casting distance of land, fishing the Fort Myers mangroves, or the oyster bars or the passes; we’ll go out a mile or two into the bay or gulf if we’re looking for goliath grouper, or tarpon or sharks.Please see our Cuban Fishing, Seashell & Shelling, Sanibel, Captiva and Florida Fishing Report sites for charter photos from our other captains and additional fishing reports! Please click here for Best Sanibel & Captiva Things To Do and here for Sanibel & Captiva News.
We’re based in Fort Myers, but our boats leave from Castaways Marina on the northern tip of Sanibel Island, and ‘Tween Waters and Jensen’s Marinas on Captiva Island, all about a half hour drive from Fort Myers.
