A fisherman recently reeled in a bright-colored catch to tie a record that was first set in Georgia 10 years ago.

Emerson Mulhall, 20, a resident of Cumming, was out on Lake Burton on Feb. 18, when he caught hold of something unlike anything he had before.

"I was confused when I hooked the fish because it didn’t fight like a bass, which is what I typically pursue, and then surprised when I saw the yellow coloring – but got really excited when we realized it was a huge perch," Mulhall told the Georgia Department of Natural Resources (Georgia DNR) in a recent press release.
