Gaffney man lands 22-pound muskie Associated Press COLUMBIA, S.C. - A Gaffney man set a state record for a muskellunge fish, commonly called a muskie, caught two months ago in the Broad River. Zavier Jeffries' prize weighed 22 pounds, eight ounces, and surpassed the old mark of 19 pounds, 2.4 ounces set in 1995. Jeffries had no idea what was tugging at his line Feb. 22 during an outing with friend Ricky Littlejohn. Jeffries said it looked like a small alligator. Jeffries told Littlejohn to grab the fish by the tail and put it up on the bank. "When he reached for its head, it started snapping at him like an alligator and took off again," Jeffries said. Fisheries biologist Dan Ranking from the state Natural Resources Department's Clemson office confirmed the catch as a state record. The original American range for muskellunge was from north of the St. Lawrence River, through the Great Lakes, into western New York, the Ohio River Basin and the Tennessee River Basin in Minnesota and Wisconsin. The official world all-tackle record is a 69-pound, 11-ounce muskie caught Oct. 20, 1949, by Louis Spray from the Chippewa Flowage in Wisconsin, according to the Freshwater Fishing Hall of Fame in Heyward, Wis.  | ||
