Record 21.57 pound tautog caught off Newport 
US Source: johnstonsunrise 11/19/2021

aul Newman of New Milford, New Jersey took the Rhode Island State Record for tautog last week with a 33-inch, 21.57-pound tautog caught when fishing on a charter with Capt. Connor MacLeod of Newport.

The Rhode Island record is 21 pounds, 4 ounces established in 1954 by C.W. Sunquist.
 

In an On-the-Water magazine online article (by Corey Pollnow), Capt. MacLeod related, “Newman dropped the Snafu Rig to the bottom and said he was stuck in the rocks. But then there was movement, signaling a large tog swallowed the white crab and was burying itself in the rocks. Newman slowly cranked down on the reel, getting the stout tautog 20 feet up from the bottom, until it ran back to the rocks like a striped bass. The back and forth battle continued four more times until the gigantic fish reached the surface.”

Congratulations to Paul Newman for a great catch and to Capt. Connor MacLeod of Tall Tailz Charters.
