DAUPHIN ISLAND, Alabama - Only 10 minutes after the scales opened Friday morning at 10 o'clock, an Alabama Deep Sea Fishing Rodeo record that's stood for 35 years fell. Trenny Woodham's massive 8-pound, 14-ounce speckled trout eclipsed the old record of 8 pounds, 8 ounces weighed by Herb Brinker during the 1979 rodeo. It was probably 10 minutes or more after he weighed his fish that Woodham was notified that it was the biggest ever weighed during any previous Rodeo.
