An angler broke a Lone Star State record by catching a 71-pound fish in an infamous Texas lake earlier this summer.

The catch, which was a smallmouth buffalo, was announced on Friday. The 71-pound behemoth was swimming in Austin's Lady Bird Lake when it was captured using a fishing rod and reel.

Lady Bird Lake has become notorious for being the site of several dead bodies over the past 18 months. Last summer, the discovery of a John Doe body spurred rumors that a serial killer's victims were dumped in the lake.
