A massive alligator gar recently caught in Texas could topple a world record that has stood for generations, photos show. Art Weston, an experienced gar fisherman from Kentucky, made the catch on Sam Rayburn Lake, near Lufkin, with the help of guide Kirk Kirkland, Kirkland told McClatchy News in a Facebook message. Kirkland, who says he has “over 100 IGFA WORLD RECORDS for all species,” called the monster catch “the holy grail of the fishing world,” in a Sept. 7 Facebook post, sharing photos of the fish. What a unbelievable fish the new pending IGFA ALL TACKLE WORLD RECORD ALLIGATOR GAR the holy grail of the fishing world and we did it on 6 lb line ... what a accomplishment, lots of blood ,sweat and tears ( and broken line ) went into this achievement. Angler and world record Chaser Art Weston and I did what no other alligator gar angler has been able to accomplish in 72 years .... catch a fish bigger than the all tackle world record set so many years ago on the bank of the Rio Grande River.. Thanks for all my sponsors and clients who have become friends, for without your support and continued belief in me this wouldn't have been possible 283 lb alligator gar 100 inches long by 48 inch girthwww.yahoo.com/news/angler-holy-grail-catch-could-194801700.html
