John Callahan was fishing on Sunday when he finally caught his first nibble after three hours.
It took him nearly 30 minutes to reel in his catch, but he was rewarded with a 58-pound bass on the other end of his line.
Employees from Julian's Bait & Tackle said it was a once-in-a-lifetime catch using fresh bunker chunk as bait.
