Check out this trigger

Just when you think no one is going to beat your catch — another boat backs in with a whopper of a fish.
Such was the case Saturday afternoon.
Capt. Eric Thrasher on the Daybreak backed in with two fish that took top honors on the leaderboard.
Don Barry of Canada, weighed in a 10.2-pound triggerfish (which is the biggest triggerfish I’ve ever seen). Prior to today, the leading triggerfish was 8.6 pounds.
He also weighed in a 3.8-pound Kitty Mitchell (a spotted looking grouper). Now I know that’s not that big, but it is the only one and biggest one so far. The neat thing about the two fish, is they were caught by a first time fisherman - at least a first time Gulf of Mexico fisherman.
Prior to today, the only fishing Barry has done is river fishing.
But he had such a great time today, he said, “I’m going again tomorrow.”
