A man has broken a local fishing record in Georgia, and he’s being recognized by state wildlife authorities.
Fisherman Caleb McClure caught a 27-pound, four-ounce longnose gar from Lake Allatoona on June 24, according to a recent press release issued by the Georgia Department of Natural Resources.
The 27-pound fish reportedly measured nearly 60 inches in length.
On Friday, June 30, McClure’s lake-specific, record-breaking gar was recognized in the weekly “Georgia Fishing Report,” where the wildlife agency acknowledged the catch beat the “previous Allatoona lake record by 15 pounds.”
