Dale Badgett, Friend of MTFC Sets Local Club Record With 39# Permit

Longtime friend of Mount This Fish Company, Dale Badgett, recently crushed an FSFA club record with a #39 Permit while fishing with Mike Cochran. Now, for some southern florida anglers this size Permit is an occasional catch, but up here in East Central Florida, this is one heck of a catch.

Here is a quote from FSFA's monthly newsletter

Club Record Permit: Who’da thunk it? Two new
club records set in the last six weeks on permit, and
not down in the Keys either! The fish were caught right
here off Port Canaveral on live crabs. In fact, one of the
new records is the largest permit ever submitted to the
FSFA! Live crabs seem to be the ticket. These fish can
appear extremely uninterested in just about anything
else. Dale Badgett holds the new light general record
at 39 lb. 0 oz. caught on 10 pound test line with a live
crab (also a 3:1 catch). Mike Cochran holds the new
general class record with 24 lb. 10 oz. caught on 30
lb. test line with a live crab. Congratulations to both
Dale & Mike (the Permit Guys)!
