RUTLAND, Vt. (WCAX) – A Pennsylvania angler is getting top honors for a record fish he caught last year. Vermont Fish and Wildlife says Jeremy Bicking’s longnose gar has been certified as a new state record. Bicking caught the 18.6 lbs., 54 ¾ inches behemoth in May while bow fishing on Lake Champlain. It is ¼ inch longer but three ounces lighter than the current record gar taken by rod and reel in 2007.
