It was a remarkable day Saturday at Backyard Bassin's no-entry-fee tournament on Oklahoma's Arbuckle Lake.

In a tournament punctuated with so many big fish it's almost hard to believe, anglers Jeff Reynolds and Johnny Thompson landed a five-fish bag weighing 42.04 pounds.

That weight, likely an unofficial Oklahoma state record, is just a part of the story.
I'll be speaking with the anglers and the tournament organizer tonight.

Watch for the story in Monday's Tulsa World.

Arbuckle is going to be one busy little lake.

Congratulations guys. Back in my tournament days I would dream of such a catch. This is beyond awesome.
