Looks like Monica Oswald of Neptune just caught the world record size Fluke weighing in at 24lbs 3oz on August 17th 2007 in Monmouth County, New York, over the Shrewsbury Rocks in about 55 feet of water.
The monster fluke was measured at 38 inches long. The fluke was caught on a Spro bucktail tipped with squid. The previous record held by a Long Islander from Montauk (Capt. Charlie Nappi) of 22lb\’s 7oz\’s on Sept. 15, 1975.
Monica\’s catch was weighed in at Scott\’s Bait and Tackle in Bradley Beach, NJ.
Supposedly she was using 65# braid and the IGFA is limited to 30# test… (This hasn\’t been confirmed yet…)
She also landed an 18+ lb weakfish last year , leads the Flounder \”Dreamboat\” contest with a 4.6 pound Flounder, has the 4th largest Blackfish (13+ lb) in that same content AND if that wasn\’t enough she supposedly came close to the state record for Northern Stargazer (7.5lbs) as well…
