The DMF has approved Chris Chadwick's 11 lb 3 oz Spadefish caught with Capt Marty and Top Water Charters back in June. Incredibly, the one Chris had officially weighed was probably one of 7 or 8 Spadefish that was caught aboard my boat during a couple of weeks of fishing on a shallow water Wreck up at Hatteras. BJ Swain, Tony Willis, and I all caught fish that crushed the previous State Record. We goofed up a cleaned several 10-11+ pounders before I realized the Record was pretty low. Chris and I set out to break it on June 14 and we accomplished our mission. Way to go Columbo. A no-fishing duck hunter just a couple of years ago, now he is in the NC Record Books!
