Prom nights are some of the most unforgettable memories, whether you have an after party or hang out with friends. For a Tennessee couple, they reeled in a big fish out of a nearby lake.

MaryJo Mattingly and Luke Lankford went night fishing on Melton Hill Lake in Anderson County, Tennessee after their junior prom. MaryJo caught a 7.06 lb walleye with nails and makeup still in tact!

According to the International Game Fish Association, the all-tackle world record for walleye was 25 pounds.
