Jacob Moore set out to catch some largemouth bass. Moore, an arborist who competes in local fishing tournaments in Virginia, was on the James River practicing for an upcoming competition when he made a remarkable catch.

“I was out there practicing for a tournament, catching a bunch of fish,” Moore told the Virginia Department of Wildlife Resources. “When I hooked into that one, I thought I had a saltwater fish on at first, but lo and behold, it was a largemouth! A very different largemouth, though.” On the other end of Moore’s fishing line was a golden largemouth bass.
