When Henry Dyer started reeling in his line, he couldn’t have known that his catch would make history.

Out fishing with a friend on Cherokee Lake in eastern Tennessee on April 13, Dyer reeled in a paddlefish, and it was a monster WTVC reported.

“When I snagged that thing, I thought I’d hung on a stump and then all of a sudden it just took off,” Dyer told WTVC. “The fish made five long runs. It took about 35 minutes for me to get it to the boat.”
