Record-breaking fish fought Pennsylvania angler for 25 minutes, but lost the battle

Angler Richard Nicholson was out fishing with his son last month when he heard his son yelling about something big tugging on his fishing line. “I looked over and the rod had really taken a bend, so I grabbed it and just started reeling,” Nicholson told the Pennsylvania Fish and Boat Commission. “I knew right away it was something big, and I thought maybe it was a musky.”
 

As the 62-year-old fisherman tried reeling it in, he said the fish fought him for about 25 minutes. The fish lost the battle, but it would soon be named the state record walleye. “It was so big that it actually broke the net,” said Nicholson, of Connellsville in Fayette County. The state department said Nicholson was targeting walleyes with “a spinning reel equipped with 6-pound test and a live creek chub attached to a number two hook, weighted down with bb-size split shot and a slip sinker.” They had a lot of success catching fish on Oct. 28 — “the best day ever” — but it wasn’t until about 6:45 p.m. when that huge walleye tugged on the line.
