My daughter Laurel David (9) caught her third IGFA world record for girls under ten. We caught two big african pompano the day before so I knew the fish were there. The next day we loaded up the family in the dark and headed out with Jim and Trav. After getting a bunch of bait we were the first ones to the spot. At first we got a couple small jacks then Laurel got a big bite on a flatline. The fish took a bunch of line and from the way it was fighting, I was sure she had the fish we were after. For twenty minutes Laurel slowly gained line back until we could see her big pompano circling below. A couple minutes later we gaffed the fish and pulled it aboard!!! A beautiful african pompano that would later weigh in at thirty-four pounds! Another record!! We fished the rest of the day and ended up with another pompano, some amberjacks, and groupers! It was a great day for Laurel and everyone on the L&H!!!!!!!!
