Burnett threw a lipless crankbait in Drakes Creek on Old Hickory Lake in about 4 feet of water when the monster took his bait. Burnett was using 12-pound test line and it took about 15 minutes for him to get the fish into his boat. The record in Tennessee for a buffalo smallmouth is 62 pounds, 7 ounces and was caught in 2001 on Percy Priest Lake by Jerry W. Young.
