“Noah and I have been trying to catch a record cubera snapper for a long time, and finally everything came together on that trip.” While they lost some oversize ones that wrapped around oil rig supports, they also boated three pending state-record fish. But Maciasz’s 131.2-pound cubera snapper was the heaviest fish caught, and arguably the most noteworthy. It’s a pending state-record cubera, and except for a rules technicality, it also could have been an IGFA all-tackle record Atlantic cubera snapper. While he’s disappointed his catch will not be an IGFA all-tackle Atlantic cubera record (currently 124.75 pounds from 2007), he’s delighted the fish is the pending Louisiana record for the species.
