An Edmond man might be the new holder of a world record for his catch Sunday at Keystone Lake in northeastern Oklahoma.According Oklahoma Department of Wildlife Conservation officials, James Lukehart snagged a paddlefish weighing 146 pounds, 11 ounces, which beats the world record by more than 2 pounds.

Lucky guy for sure. OK has the right waters for growing them big.

What a beast. That guide is fixing to be really busy and I bet really expensive.

That’s an inshore whale! Wonder how long he fought that thing? Zebco 33?

The guy that was the guide on the trip had the unofficial record two weeks ago.
Those paddlefish swim upstream to spawn every spring, so it could have been caught in the Kaw tail waters or any of the River tributaries along the way. I’ve broke more than one surf rod trying to get one in against the current.
