13-year-old Landon Anthony was fishing with his grandparents a few weeks ago when he reeled in a 36-pound catfish.
His family said Landon has been fishing since he was little when his father taught him. They said his father died a few years ago, but his grandparents have been taking him fishing ever since.
His enormous catch is getting praise from all over, including a York County official.
Appeals board member Allison Love wrote in a Facebook post that she would think about Landon’s catch every time she gets in her inner tube on the lake.
It’s become a family tradition and they said this catfish was the biggest thing the teenager has ever caught.
Landon said he dreams of one day being a professional fisherman.
