It's one thing to be 40 and freediving with a polespear, but to be eight months pregnant and nail a pending world record black drum is a whole other thing.

Julie Augustine of Destin, Florida, did just that Oct. 1.

"It was crazy, that's not how I anticipated my day starting, but what an adventure," Augustine said.
 

Augustine shot a 37.6-pound black drum with a 9-foot Bermudian slip tip polespear while freediving.
