New Florida State record Blue Catfish

The news Has already been all over social media as well as the internet, but the Florida Blue Catfish record has just been broken by a North Florida man Named Justin Hodge from Old town. He caught this beast on our very own Suwannee River and it weighed in at 73.6lbs, beating the previous record…

A broad, ice-filled marine cooler on the deck of a small bay boat, lid open to reveal a perfectly placed, freshly caught redfish. The fish’s copper-bronze scales shimmer with iridescent blues and greens, its signature black tail spot sharp against crushed ice crystals. Meltwater beads on the cooler’s textured white interior, catching highlights from overhead sun. Around the cooler, the boat’s deck shows subtle scuffs and salt spray, with a neatly coiled line and a measuring stick etched into the gunwale. Midday Gulf light is bright but natural, casting clean, short shadows and crisp reflections. Photographic realism, shot from directly above with sharp focus throughout, creating a bold, honest, and professional harvest scene.
