Alberta is no stranger to large items and roadside attractions, and if you are into fishing, the largest fishing lure in the world is a must-see 🎣⁠
⁠
The lure can be found in the Lacombe area and measures 40 feet and 5.25 inches — nearly 25 feet longer than the previous record, which was located in West, Texas, with a length of 15 feet 6.72 inches.⁠
⁠
The lure, which is located at the Len Thompson Pond in Lacombe, is situated at the end of Len Thompson Drive and is visible from Highway 2A.⁠
⁠
While you are in the area to see this massive fishing lure, you’ve got to stop and check out Lacombe’s adorable main street, including a neat historic building. Safe travels!⁠
⁠
Have you spotted this fishing lure?⁠
