Correction
Paul Shin's daughters were misidentified in a photo on yesterday's Total Rec page. Vanessa was on the left and Breanna on the right in the "Catch of the Day" photo. Also, Paul Shin said the weight of the 40-pound ulua was as heavy as Vanessa, not both daughters, as was stated in yesterday's story.
