A Wyoming outdoorsman has quite the fish tale to tell.

Patrick Edwards’ big catch not only broke a state record for Wyoming, but it also tied a world record that has stood for nearly four decades.

Edwards reeled in a white sucker that weighed in at 6 pounds, 8.4 ounces on the Wind River, beating the state record that he once held and tying the world record—although did not know that at the time.

It’s a fish most people don’t target, but Edwards is all about equal opportunity when it comes to fishing.
