BREVARD COUNTY, FLORIDA – Fifty is a pretty exciting number for anything, and for Allison Stattner it represents a new highlight in her fishing career.

This golden milestone marks the astounding number of fish she has added to her Saltwater Fish Life List. Stattner is the first and, so far, the only person to reach the 50-Fish Club in FWC’s Catch a Florida Memory program.

“Reaching the 50-Fish Club was definitely a fun challenge,” said Stattner.

“I had to take into account seasonality, location within Florida, varied baits and, most importantly, log a lot of time on the water. Some of my catches were from the beach, pier, kayak and offshore headboats. Thank you to FWC and the sponsors of the Catch a Florida Memory program for recognizing angler accomplishments and encouraging me to be a better angler.”

Stattner rounded out her Life List achievement with a whopping 42-inch wahoo as her 50th fish. She has chosen to memorialize the catch in a replica mount she’ll receive as a prize from Mount This! Fish Company.

She is also featured in the new book, “Fifty Women Who Fish,” and has a pending 130.2-pound tarpon world record on the fly. While her enthusiasm for spending time on the water is clear, she is equally passionate about teaching younger generations how to fish, including her own daughter who is a Life List 10-Fish Club member.
