They\u2019re known for being aggressive fish who fight back, which makes them thrilling for fishers. This lucky angler, David Hayes, was well-renowned for his ability to catch bass and walleye in deep waters. So much so that other anglers shadowed him to learn his craft. On one fishing trip on the Dale Hollow Reservoir that was initially uneventful, Hayes spent a few minutes wrestling with a massive smallmouth and landed the world record. There was subsequent controversy over the catch, including claims that dock hands at Cedar Hill Resort added weight to the fish, fabricating the truth. Thankfully for Hayes, this claim was later debunked, and he restored his world record.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-walleye\">Walleye<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large is-resized\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1000\" height=\"667\" src=\"https:\/\/lakehomes.com\/info\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/01\/25-lb-Walleye-wawangresort.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-14767\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.lakehomes.com\/info\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/01\/25-lb-Walleye-wawangresort.jpg 1000w, https:\/\/www.lakehomes.com\/info\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/01\/25-lb-Walleye-wawangresort-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.lakehomes.com\/info\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/01\/25-lb-Walleye-wawangresort-768x512.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1000px) 100vw, 1000px\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\"><em>Angler: <\/em>Mabry Harper&nbsp;<br \/><em>Weight: <\/em>25 pounds<br \/><em>Location: <\/em>Old Hickory Lake, Tennessee&nbsp;<br \/><em>Date: <\/em>August 1960 <br \/>Photo credit &#8211; <a rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" href=\"https:\/\/wawangresort.wordpress.com\/2018\/03\/16\/world-record-walleye-1\/\" target=\"_blank\">Wawang Lake Resort<\/a><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>On the day that Mabry Harper caught this record-breaking fish, he was about to eat it for dinner.

Earlier that year, Ferguson caught a crappie that was indeed a record for the species. However, since no officials were on site to weigh it, he couldn\u2019t register the fish at the time.
