The thrilling tale of how 10-year-old Matthew Poldy caught the largest black grouper ever reeled in by a child begins with this foreboding introduction:
“I was taking a break from fishing and eating an Oreo when we saw the rod bend down.”
And so the battle was joined, on his grandfather Don Poldy’s 34-foot boat off the coast of Key West. With encouragement from his twin sister Allyson and father Greg, all from the Oak Hill area of Fairfax County, Matthew battled heroically for a tension-filled, physically draining five or six...minutes before reeling in the black grouper. Matthew, a veteran of saltwater fishing since age five, has actually had much longer battles, but not this time.
