A 50-Pounder Catches a 46-Pounder

 

Ethan Govier begged his dad Brian to take him on one ofethan-kingfish1 his many fishing expeditions. June 4th aboard the Blue Heron II www.blueheronfishing.com out of Jupiter Florida turned out to be the day for him! Ethan only 8 years old weighing in at 50 LBS caught this monster 46 LB. Smoker King Fish. The fight lasted 30 minutes as Ethan struggled with his rod and reel only loaded with 25 LB test line. Finally after several attempts Ethan with the help of the captain land this fish on the boat. The day was as perfect as you could imagine especially when the King fish made it to the smoker for some good eating!
