Angler Wayne Holland of Blairsville had more than just a great day of
fishing at Lake Burton on February 23, 2005 - he managed to catch a new
state record! Mr. Holland reeled in an 8 lb. 2 oz., 21 ½ - inch spotted
bass, according to the Georgia Department of Natural Resources, Wildlife
Resources Division (WRD). The most recent state record for a spotted bass
was an 8 lb. ½ oz. fish caught on Lake Lanier in 1985.
