Local Boy Catches Fish As Big As Himself

Look at the size of this whopper! Five-year-old Phillip Telgen caught this black drum all by himself off his family`s dock, with minimal help along the way from his dad, Doug Telgen.

Phillip fought the fish for quite a while before pulling it onto the dock. After the photo was taken, Phillip shoved the huge thing back into the water, where it rested briefly and then swam off.

One happy fish and one really happy boy!
