Mississippi fisherman and lure maker Eric Mayo has been on a record-breaking tear over the last five or so years.⁠ ⁠ On April 11, Mayo was fishing his family’s farm pond near his hometown of Petal where he caught the new state-record longear sunfish. He then went back to the same pond the following day and landed another state record, a redspotted sunfish that weighed around a third of a pound. Both the longear and the redspot were certified by the Mississippi Department of Wildlife, Fisheries, and Parks on April 21. Mayo says that counting those two most recent catches, he now has 10 state records in multiple categories.⁠ ⁠ Tap the link in profile for the full story 🔗⁠ ⁠ #fishing #fishingtrip #fishingseason #recordfish #sunfish #panfish #conservation #outdoors #nature #outdoorlife⁠ 📷: Eric Mayo⁠ Story by: dac.collins
