On May 21, 2024, Randy Ritter set the IGFA Men’s 6-kg (12 lb) Tippet Class World Record for sheepshead while fishing the flats of Hopedale, Louisiana, USA. The 3.09-kilogram (6-pound, 13-ounce) sheepshead struck Randy’s crab fly while he was fishing with guide Miles LaRose. After landing the fish, Randy returned to Skiff Supply Fly Shop to record its weight on a certified scale.
