April 10 (UPI) -- Wildlife officials in Arkansas said a man fishing for walleye from his kayak managed to land a massive 102-pound paddlefish.
"After a battle that lasted over an hour, Robert was finally able to land the prehistoric river monster," the commission said in a Facebook post.
The post said the fish was short of the 118-pound, 9-ounce state record for paddlefish, set by an angler in Beaver Lake in 2020.
"We congratulate Robert on his remarkable catch," the post said.
