Dur- ing the course of each calendar year, this “just for fun” com- petition tracks the heaviest fish (can be boated or weighed & released) entered by members for each species the club main- tains weight records for. The catches are posted on the All Time Record Board in the WPBFC clubhouse and online. Fish must be weighed on a club certified scale and entries must be received on an official club affidavit. Winners receive a beautiful 'Big Fish' certificate suitable for framing. Be sure to enter your catch and keep track of this year's leaders on the All Time Club Record's page of the club website! Vicki Comstock's 31 lb. snook was caught, weighed & released on December 30th while fishing from a dock in Palm Beach. Vicki tricked the lunker lineside using a live goggle-eye on 20 lb. tackle.
