as an angler to accomplish global notoriety. This particular trip aimed to break line class records by catching the largest fish with a specific pulling force limit.
During the first day of their week-long trip, the pair arrived at their destination and anchored their boat. They didn't have to wait long before one of the reels began to spin rapidly. The incredible 169-pound alligator gar was the first of two enormous fish they caught before the king of the waters appeared to claim its title.It took 2 hours and 45 minutes to reel in the 283-pound fish on 6-pound test line and complete the IGFA record requirements. However, it was a challenging process.
Weston said after 2 hours and 20 minutes he eventually saw the leader's tip, which was almost 6 feet long, just under the surface. He followed the fish for more than 10 minutes. He couldn't bring it any closer, but he did lift the leader out of the water by 4 inches and kept up with the fish for another 10 minutes.
Kirkland was able to get a rope on the fish on the first attempt. But, unfortunately, the fish was not done, and dove immediately, giving him severe rope burns. Upon reaching shore to weigh the catch, the tripod holding the scale almost gave out due to one of its legs bowing from the weight of the fish being lifted above ground level.
