A Stuart woman now holds the state and world record for the largest tilapia.
Pamela Henry of Stuart broke the records when she reeled in a 9.6-pound blue tilapia last August.
Blue tilapia are abundant throughout central and southern Florida.
This fish measured 24 inches long.
The Florida Fish and Wildlife Conservation Commission recently certified the fish as the largest caught recreationally in state waters.
Additionally, the International Game Fish Association issued the all-tackle world record for the species to Henry.
Henry was fishing off her dock last August in the St. Lucie River in Martin County when she caught the big fish.
