Jaxton Orr, a 13-year-old who lives in Fort Wayne, broke the Indiana size record for spotted gar on July 28 while fishing Big Lake in Noble County.
The size of Indiana state fish records are determined by weight. The record fish weighed 6 pounds. The old record for spotted gar was 5.1 pounds, caught from Turtle Creek Reservoir in Sullivan County in 2014 by Dale Haas. Orr's fish was 34.7 inches long and its girth measurement was 11 3/8 inches.
Orr caught the fish on a rod and reel using cut baits.

That's a giant spotted gar!! Three feet long  :shocking: long nose and Aligator gar get much bigger but the spotted is a different story.

Fishing is more than just a hobby
