Reader Email – Boston Wins Again…Chick Catches World’s Largest Tarpon
Reader Email
El Pres,
My kids and I are devoted stoolies. Since it’s a slow time of year, I thought you’d like to see the awesome picture of a 150 pound tarpon my 21 year-old-daughter, Alex Lovett-Woodsum caught on a fly rod in Florida in May. It would have beaten the existing women’s world record by 30 pounds, but my daughter refused to kill this magnificent fish. Proof once again that the greatest sportsmen and women are in Boston. That evening she proudly wore her Cue the Duckboats shirt, a Christmas present I gave all my kids.

I love it. My only regret is that this girl didn’t have the “Cue The Duckboats” shirt on when she held the mighty beast. But still this is just a great example of how we roll around here. It doesn’t matter if it’s football, basketball, baseball, Cheez It eating, Cup stacking, paper rock scissors, jeopardy or anything else, we dominate. I mean how long have people been catching fish for? Like forever? Yet that doesn’t stop a chick Stoolie from taking a quick trip down to Florida and promptly catching the biggest fucking Tarpon in the history of the sea. Hey ocean….tell me how my ass tastes. And the best part is that she didn’t even bother to record it. Ain’t no thang when you come from a place where breaking records is common place.
Casey Tatum has the record for catching a 151 pound Strapon.
150lb fish with a fly rod? Had to be a #16 right? No way she hauled that in with anything smaller. She was out to get a big fish that day my friends.
Were gonna need a bigger duckboat…..
Are you crying pres?
The sea was angry that day….like an old man waiting for his soup.

if he knew any better he wouldnt give out last names.
“…but my daughter refused to kill this magnificent fish.”
Proof once again that the greatest lilly-livered, animal loving, PETA suck-ups are in Boston.
“Magnificent fish”…. HELLO??? its a fish. Cut it up and grill it.

At first glance i thought that said worlds largest tampon. Pretty glad it didn’t
I’ve taken bigger craps. No way that fish ways 150. She probably rode an 18 incher that day also, with 2 rods in hand.
Yeah, I expected you to rip this bitch apart for not going for the record because of her PETA bullshit excuse. My opinion is if fish wanted to live they would evolve some lungs or opposable thumbs and smarten up.
She can take credit for catching a really big fish, but it’s not a record. That would be like me saying I have the biggest dick in the world when I’ve never even measured the magnificent beast.
Cue motherfucking Roger Berkowitz!
‘ways 150′ = hahahah sick English.
Where’d she catch that fish, the Mountain Dew factory?
How do you know it was 150lbs? Most people don’t kill a tarpon in Florida because:
a) It costs a shitload of cash for such a license
and
b) There is nothing of value to eat.
I’ve vacationed for years in Boca Grande where they hold the largest Tarpon tournaments in the USA. Any self-respecting guide, including the great Mark Futch, practices catch & release for Tarpon.
Dream on Steve.
You cant eat tarpon…so it is pointless.
“Hey ocean, tell me how my ass tastes.” HAHAHA Classic line.
Impressive, but not as impressive as the video on here the other day of that beast basking by the water’s edge
Alex, see if you can handle my 10″ trouser trout.
Agreed – If that fish is 150 lbs., she’s 200 lbs.
Do you do any research before you post something? Congrats to the girl for catching the fish, but if it weighed 150 lbs she lost the record by at least 40 lbs
Excerpt from below: …brought in a fish in that tipped the Tires Plus scale at 190 pounds, the largest fish weighed during the 2008 season.

Bradyman – I think you meant “Like an old man trying to send back soup in a deli”
soxfaninnyc he’s talking about the women’s world record, do you ever read before you post something?
Tarpon 283-4 (lb and oz)
Sherbro ls., Sierra Leone Apr. 16, 1991 Yvon Victor Sebag
can’t find the US record or any flyfishing record
Here is the 135lb fish caught by a woman, take a look and tell me this isn’t MUCH larger than the one this girl caught

The ocean has tasted Revere Beach. Comparatively your ass is a tic-tac.
