Bass pro Jake Ormond set a state record for the largest longnose gar which he caught on Bayou Bartholomew while giving a bass fishing lesson. The Sterlington native was giving his young student a lesson on crankbaiting when he spotted the big gar on the surface of the water. After switching rods and spotting him on the bottom, it took Ormond three casts to hook the monster and start to tire it out.
