There have been few good-weather fishing days in 2010, but Blake Matherne made the best of one Jan. 22. Matherne was rig fishing in the South Pass 90 area aboard the Funny Shoes II when he hooked into something heavy in 500 feet of water. After a tough fight and a long cranking session, Matherne landed this 32-pound speckled hind, which has been submitted as a possible new state record.
