The Georgia Department of Natural Resource's Wildlife Resources Division posted about the record on social media.

Timmy Woods of Kite Georgia reeled in a 2 lb, 10 oz hickory shad, according to the post. This new fish breaks the previous state record for hickory shad, which was caught in the same river just over a year ago.
 

"In just over a year, the Ogeechee River has produced two state record hickory shad," the post states. "This prize was reeled in by Timmy Woods of Kite, Georgia and outweighs the only one-year-old state record at a whopping 2 lb, 10 oz."

The post continues, "Both Hickory and American shad are anadromous species that spend most of their life in the Atlantic Ocean, and then return to their natal rivers to spawn once they reach sexual maturity. In Georgia, the shad spawning run usually begins in January in the southern rivers and fish can be found until May below the New Savannah Bluff Lock and Dam near Augusta."
