A teenager from Alabama who went solo fishing to blow off some steam after his final exams returned to shore with a pending state record for a species that was new to the area.

"It's not the biggest fish I've ever caught," Gardner Love, 17, an Elberta resident, told Fox News Digital.

"We catch a lot bigger fish offshore, but I've never caught a state record before – so this is definitely one for the books."
Love caught a 27-inch, 7-pound snook on Tuesday, May 14, while fishing in the brackish waters along Soldier Creek, which leads to Perdido Bay.
