TEXAS, USA — If someone asked you,"What's the biggest fish you've ever caught"? What would you say? Well, angler Art Weston has a fish tale like no one else.
“And you know, people tell you that, you know, oh, there's no way you can catch a fish on that light line. Look at the sailfish records, look at the swordfish records, all that stuff. There's some really big fish being caught on light line. But it takes a great captain. It takes a great angler to do that," Kirkland said.
Kirkland and Weston brought the fish into the boat using a lasso. This gargantuan Gar broke a record for a six-pound test line that stood since Harry Truman was president. "So, we broke the world record the all-tackle world record, which is the heaviest fish that's ever been caught of that species on any land class up to 130 pounds. We broke the line class record. We broke the Texas state record, and we broke the water body record," Kirkland said.
