A 5-year-old boy from Buffalo is poised to set a new state fishing record after catching a pumpkinseed fish this past weekend.
Gregory Martin reeled in the fish weighing 1 pound 15 ounces while fishing with his family on Oneida Lake late Saturday morning.
He was using his aunt Hope Pragacz’s boat from Binghamton, New York. According to Pragacz, Martin used a hook, worm, and drop shot sinker.
Although the fish lost an ounce in transport, its weight of 1 pound 14 ounces still surpasses the current record of 1 pound 9 ounces, which was set in 1994 and matched in 2020.
The catch is still awaiting official certification from the DEC. More details coming soon.
Sam Hanggi spent four years competing on the Auburn University Bass Fishing Team and pursuing a degree in Pre-Law. He has fished competitively all over the country and will continue to fish competitively outside of Wired2fish. Sam’s favorite technique is throwing a big swimbait up shallow. Some of his favorite bodies of water are Saginaw Bay, St. Lawrence River, Clarks Hill and the James River.
He has had numerous top ten and top five finishes throughout his college career and has a love for sharing his knowledge and passion for fishing with others.
