An Indiana angler made state history after catching a relatively-heavy yellow perch last month.

The Indiana Department of Natural Resources (Indiana DNR) made a Facebook post about the catch on May 1. The fisherman, Blas Lars, threw his tackle in Lake Michigan before he caught the record-breaking fish.
 

"Blas Lara was fishing Lake Michigan in Lake County during the Mayor’s Fishing Derby in Hammond on April 21 when he landed a 3-pound, 2-ounce yellow perch, shattering a 43-year-old Indiana state record," the Indiana DNR explained in a press release.

"The previous state record for the species was a 2-pound, 8-ounce fish caught from a gravel pit in Vigo County by Roy W. Burkel Jr. in 1981."
