BARTOW COUNTY, Ga. – A record-breaking fish has been caught in a popular Georgia lake.
The Georgia Department of Natural Resources said Caleb McLure went out on Lake Allatoona earlier this week and caught what could be the largest in the lake’s history.
The huge catch was just 5 feet long and weighed 27 pounds, four ounces.
That weight easily topped the previous lake record by 15 pounds, officials said.
