A Texas man who caught a massive fish may have broken a world record in spearfishing.

Braden Sherron, 20, of Texas wowed onlookers with his 137-pound cubera snapper catch when he and his brother went spearfishing in the Gulf of Mexico earlier this month.

On June 3, the pair hopped on their 25-foot panga boat and traveled "offshore off the coast of Texas" like they usually do, Sherron told Fox News Digital, in an email.
 

Sherron, who’s a fan of freedive spearfishing, made sure he had his speargun ready when he entered the water.
"I speared the snapper while spearfishing, and it took about an hour to land," Sherron recalled.

He added, "I wasn’t out hunting for a record fish, the fish speared just happened to be that large."

Photos of the rust-colored fish show the cubera snapper appeared to be as wide as Sherron’s shoulders and about three-quarters of his standing height.
