"Kentucky angler Art Weston snagged another gigantic alligator gar while traveling with his fishing guide, Captain Kirk Kirkland, aboard his boat, which he rightfully named the "Garship Enterprise."
"A true 1% likelihood catch."
Weston etched his name into the record books again on April 8 after landing the largest freshwater fish on ultra-light tackle in the International Game Fish Association's (IGFA) history. It's just another notch to his belt of more than 40 world records.
He battled the 153-pound, 7-foot-3-inch behemoth for nearly four grueling hours before finally bringing it to shore after chasing it for over 2 miles.
