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.
