It s always bigger in Texas.
A Texas fisherman has broken state records with his impressive bluefin tuna catch, weighing in at a whopping 876 pounds and 121 inches long.
Troy Lancaster, a 50-year-old angler from Port Aransas, Texas, snagged the massive fish back in mid-April, according to a report from The Houston Chronicle. After spending nine hours trying to net the fish and several more weeks waiting on official state analysis, The Texas Parks and Wildlife Department has confirmed that it was the largest tuna fish caught in the state. When the fish got on the deck of the boat, it was like killing a big trophy deer, Lancaster told the outlet. There was absolutely no ground shrinkage.

Now that’s a big fish.
After reeling in a monster fish back in mid-April, a Texas fisherman can now finally brag about breaking the record. Although, based on the size of the fish, he probably wasn’t having any trouble bragging about it to begin with.
Troy Lancaster caught an 876-pound Bluefin tuna while fishing near Port Arnasa in Texas, KXXV reports. The previous record for this type of fish had been set in 1985 when an 808-pound tuna was caught.
Lancaster caught the massive fish on April 13th, but the record was only just officially recognized by the Texas Parks and Wildlife.
