Even though Blas Lara didn’t win the Mayor’s Fishing Derby on Lake Michigan last month, he was still the talk of the tournament. That’s because Lara caught a jumbo yellow perch during the derby, breaking a state record that’s stood for 43 years. His fish weighed 3 pounds, 2 ounces, and beat out the previous record by more than half a pound, according to the Indiana Department of Natural Resources, which made Lara’s record official on Wednesday.⁠
