ARKANSAS (KNWA/KFTA) — A man fishing on the upper White River near Goshen caught a 102-pound Paddlefish, or spoonbill, according to an Arkansas Game and Fish Commission Facebook post.
Robert Murphy of Fayetteville was fishing for Walleye in his kayak when he accidentally snagged the large fish, according to AGFC. It took over an hour for Murphy to finally reel in the prehistoric river monster, the post states.
Murphy was short of the 118-lb 9-oz state record caught on Beaver Lake in 2020.
