MASSIVE BLACKFISH SMASHES RECORD
Salt Water Sportsman
|April 2023
It seems if you want to catch a world-record tautog, you need to be on Fish Bound IV with Capt. Kane Bounds, out of Ocean City, Maryland.
In 2015, Kenneth Westerfeld caught the world-record blackfish, a 28-pound, 13-ounce specimen, aboard the vessel. In January, another 'tog that's likely bound for the International Game Fish Association record book came over the gunwale of the same boat. This time, the angler was Jennifer Zuppe, and her 'tog weighed 23 pounds, 4 ounces.
