22-Year-Old Angler Samson Matthews Catches Record-Breaking Longnose Gar

FEDERALSBURG, Md. (WJZ) — A 22-year-old Hurlock fisherman made a huge catch on Monday while fishing for blue catfish in the Marshyhope Creek in Dorchester County.
Samson Matthews told the Maryland Department of Natural Resources, he was about 10 minutes into fishing with a friend when he felt a strong pull and something thrashing.
“I didn’t even know what it was at first,” Matthews told DNR.
After pulling the fish into the boat, the pair knew they had a record-breaker.
