A man camping at Percy Priest Lake last week caught a large fish, unofficially breaking the state record.

Dehat Dosky was at Anderson Road campground on Friday, Aug. 4 when he caught the fish at about 10 p.m.

He said he released it because he thought it was a carp, but when he posted the photos of his fishing expedition later, he made a shocking discovery. Dosky said after he posted his fishing photos on Facebook, his friends advised him he caught a smallmouth buffalo.
