Art Weston hold more than 50 current or pending fishing world records, but he will likely soon add two more to his total after hauling in a “monster” alligator gar during a September fishing excursion in Texas.
As a record-chasing angler, Weston was only hoping to land a 123-pound, 9-ounce gar, which would break the IGFA in the Men’s 6-pound Line category. “All of a sudden, one of the reels started to scream -- the fish just grabbed the bait and absolutely took off in straight line,” Weston told “I remember yelling ‘Oh my God, that’s a monster!” Weston said. After landing the fish, they were able to record its weight on a certified scale before safely releasing the fish.
