'Sorry, Charlie' this tuna is a record

PASS CHRISTIAN, Miss. - There's a new state record Yellowfin Tuna in Mississippi's record books for that species using conventional tackle, the state Commission on Marine Resources certified on April 21. Fisherman Michael McElroy III of Hattiesburg landed the 236 pounds, 9.6 ounce behemoth on March 30. McElroy said it took him 5-1/2 hours to land the fish. The previous record was a 205 pounds and 12.8 ounces. McElroy's record catch came but a few days Gov. Tate Reeves ordered a shelter-in-place due to the coronavirus pandemic. (Source: The AP 04/22/20)
