Just off the coast of Grand Isle, Louisiana, angler Ginger Myers snagged an 851.9-pound (approx. 386-kilogram) blue marlin in the Mongo Offshore Challenge, an annual fishing competition that takes place in the Gulf of Mexico.
After catching the huge fish from on board her 72-foot Viking boat, the Fleur-de-Lis, Myers became the record holder for the state of Alabama, with potentially the largest catch ever made by a lady angler in the Gulf of Mexico.
