From the watery desk of Mark Daugherty

The SUPER COW weighed in at 405.2 pounds topping the current record of 388, 12 ounces held since 1977. Livingston fought the pending record fish for just under three hours on a Penn 30W filled with 100lb. PowerPro spectra, 100lb. SoftSteel Ultra and a 9/0 Owner Mutu circle hook on a sardine bait. The fish was landed on the 80-foot deluxe sportfisher Vagabond captained by Mike Lackey.
