Recent Fayetteville High grad Jack Schley went off shore fishing on Monday. He wound up catching a 25 lb. 2 oz. red snapper that put him at the top of the leaderboard in the statewide Big Cash Snap per Tournament.

In an interview with the Record on Tuesday, Schley said he wasn’t even trying to catch a trophy that day.

“We were just going out to have a good time and go fish and whatnot,” Schley said. “But our guide, Michael Kubecka, told all of us that he was going to a spot with some pretty big snapper, so we might want to enter that big cash tournament.”
