A trip to the lake paid off big time for Jeremy Mitchell of Jonesboro.

Check out the 7-pound largemouth bass he caught recently in Pocahontas.

No word on what Jeremy plans to do with this big fish; but, we bet a trip to the taxidermist is probably in his future.

Wildlife officers issuing special citations to kids
