A Connecticut angler has set the new state record for a tautog catch while fishing in the Thames River with Captain Luke Wiggins, who is the previous record holder for the 'taugzilla.'
A Connecticut angler and his boat captain have reeled in a fish of a lifetime. Aiden Cole has caught a massive 36 inch, 28.75 -pound tautog — better known as a 'taugzilla' among the marine community. Cole, who's reportedly a high school senior, reeled in the unbelievable catch while aboard the Melissa Ann under the direction of Captain Luke Wiggins, according to the Connecticut Fish and Wildlife's Facebook post.
fish over 10 pounds is a big deal, let alone one surpassing 20 pounds. 'These fish are gigantic. When you get 15, 20 pound fish that's very large,' Molnar commented. 'They live very long…so I suspect this fish is 20, 25 years old.' Capt. Wiggins held the previous record for tautog after bringing in his own fish that was 32.5 inches long and close 24 pounds.
