On Thursday, December 29, the Florida Fish and Wildlife Conservation Commission (FWC) announced two new saltwater records. According to a recent press release, Matthew Marovich landed a red porgy and a blueline tilefish that both top the record books for the largest of their kind ever caught in state waters.

When Marovich set out from his hometown of Sarasota on the last Friday of August, the fishing conditions were ideal, according to the FWC. The water was calm and flat, and the skies were clear. Sure enough, the fish were biting. But Maravich had no idea he was in for a rare double-record day.
