World’s Biggest Catch

Just when I thought Art Weston’s resume couldn’t get any more impressive, another incredible big fish story to shock the imagination comes barreling down the pike.

I call the story incredible because it’s built around a truly remarkable fishing feat.

Using ultralight fishing gear in combination with razor thin 2-pound test line, Weston recently landed a 153 pound alligator gar that is a pending International Game Association line class world record. Additionally, the fish is destined to become the heaviest freshwater fish of any kind ever caught worldwide on a 2-pound test.
