Jefferson City's John Goad was fly fishing at Frieda Lake in Crawford County May 8 when a yearling cow walked into the water. Goad said it wasn't until after the cow entered the water when he started having luck reeling in fish — ultimately catching his state record.
The Missouri Department of Conservation (MDC) announced Thursday a Jefferson City man has tied the state record for a longear sunfish.
The MDC congratulated John Goad in a news release for his 5-ounce catch, made in Crawford County.
