## Caption

“This large head came up and gulped the jig. I set the hook, and the battle ensued. It was five minutes of chasing this fish. I was wearing waders and running up and down the stream because I couldn’t stop it. It was just so big. I finally got it to the net, but because it was just too heavy, the jighead bent, and I lost the fish.”

Virginia officials  just recognized Grant Bentz's (eventual) summer catch as the new state record.
