This Fisherman Might’ve Just Broken a World Record

He Definitely Broke His Rod!

October 18, 2025

The fish might’ve cost him one his best bass rods, but Charlie Conway says the spotted gar he caught in Lake Texoma on Oct. 10 was worth the trade. Conway’s 10-plus-pound gar was certified as a new Oklahoma record Tuesday, beating out the previous record by more than three pounds, according to the Oklahoma Department of Wildlife Conservation.

This Rod-Snapping Potential World Record Will Blow Your Mind

“I’ve fished that spot since I was little bitty — probably about four,” Conway says of a particular cove. “My dad used to take me there and fish all the time.”

The Ultimate Fishing Lures for Tuna

It is no surprise that most lures catch more fisherman than fish. If I walk into a tackle store, I'll walk out with more fishing lures and tackle than I will ever need. Do I really need the same lure in five different color variations? If you want to catch big tuna, you need the best tuna lures money can buy!
