Florida Fish and Wildlife Conservation Commission (FWC) fisheries biologists certified a new state record tie for the flier fish, a native Florida game fish, last month. Michael Baxley caught a 1.36-pound flier on Ocheesee Pond in Jackson County in June 2025. Baxley’s catch officially ties the current record and surpasses a previously tied record set in 2015 by Twilla Gates in Jackson County, which hit the scales at 1.35 pounds. Braxley's ability to capture this fish is outstanding for a lesser-known species.

They selected youth artist, Sebastian Romo, to receive this year’s Artist Spotlight Award. Congratulations to Sebastian Romo for his creativity in creating this unique artwork of the Florida bass. Way to go, Sebastian!
