The Tennessee Wildlife Resources Agency has confirmed a new fishing record for silver carp in Class B (method other than rod and reel) which came from Cheatham Lake.

 

Connor Edwards, of Cedar Hill, took the fish by archery at Cheatham Lake on March 14 at 10:30 p.m. The fish weighed 36 pounds, 13.92 ounces and was 39 1/2 inches long.

The new record fish surpasses the previous record of 36 pounds set in 2013 on Kentucky Lake.
