 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.

According to the International Underwater Spearfishing Association, the current record for black drum in the Sling/Polespear Division for a female diver is a 36.3-pounder shot by Lucie Cardet of the U.S. on July 19, 2018.
