It was on day two that things turned up a couple of notches when she caught a 324.1 pound striped marlin – qualifying her for a line class IFGA world record.
Despite her epic run, it looks like she has her sights set on a new goal, “It’s just heaps of fun,” she said. “I want to try to get some tuna records soon.”

It looks like she has an incredibly bright future in fishing. With two records under her belt already, it’s only a matter of time before she shatters even more.
