New York's record for largest longnose gar caught has been broken.

New York State Department of Environmental Conservation (DEC) Interim Commissioner Sean Mahar announced in a July 12 press release that Chuck Zimmerman of Hilton, Monroe County, broke the record for the largest longnose gar caught in the state.

The previous record was set in 2018 with a catch made in Lake Champlain. Zimmerman caught his longnose gar at Butterfield Lake in Jefferson County on June 21, 2024. The fish caught by topwater swimbait weighed in at an impressive 15 pounds, 14 ounces — which is 1 pound, 4 ounces larger than the fish caught in 2018.
