Saltwater fishing guide Jason Rich told his buddies he’d “probably regret” dropping his line in again after he was already tired from wrangling fish all day. Then he hooked a record-breaking fish. “I was thinking one of the huge amberjacks would smash it and I would be tied on one of them for another 20-30 (minutes) and be completely worn out again,” Rich told McClatchy News.
 

But his jig was ready to go, so he put it in the water. “Everything happens for a reason,” he said. On May 2, he set a Georgia record by reeling in a nearly 24-pound Almaco Jack, which was more than four pounds heavier than the previous record, according to the Georgia Department of Natural Resources.
