Randall Bryett grew up on the Sunshine Coast of Australia with some the worlds best fishing around every corner. He has worked in many aspects of the fishing industry including chasing the Giant Black Marlin at the prestigious Lizard Island. He is a avid fly fisherman who likes to find his own path. When not traveling he resides in Northern California with his wife Kate and their adopted cats.
A new pending record for Mutton Snapper may have been set on June 24th
in Cozumel by local resident Nassim Joaquin. The fish of 11lb was
weighed and released by Nassim following the International Game Fish Assocation
rules. This was Nassim's first time doing a live release for a world
record application. If the submission is accepted by the IGFA this fish beats the current record of 8lb which is also held by Joaquin.
