MILTON — A Milton firefighter caught more fish than expected on his wife’s 30th birthday.
That is, the couple encountered an unexpectedly large fish while aboard a Chew on This charter boat with Capt. Ben Chancey in Cape Coral, Fla.
Stephen Rampersad reeled in the 400-pound grouper after four hours of fishing, according to GrindTV.
He used the boat’s biggest fishing rod and baits to land the goliath fish, which pulled him overboard and cost him some expensive sunglasses, according to the site.
The whole time, he held onto the rod, not giving up on his pursuit for the trip’s largest grouper.
The couple took photos with the fish before releasing the fish back into the water.
Rampersad’s wife, Christen, recorded the experience on video, and the couple shared these photos of the event with the Press Gazette.
