A lot of anglers have broken local records in the past year, but this latest fish might be a world record.
The MDC issued a press release congratulating Devlin Rich for setting the new record by catching a 10-pound, 9-ounce spotted gar on Feb. 25. The fish was officially weighed on a certified scale in Williamsville and the score was verified by MDC staff. It is reportedly the second state record recognized by the department in 2021. According to the press release, Rich reeled in the spotted gar, which is apparently an accomplishment all on its own.More Related News
