Earlier this month a couple in Ennis County used the power of Ronald McDonald to help catch a record fish out of a local lake.

On May 8, the Highview Marina in Ennis shared three photos of a fishing-loving couple's record largemouth bass catch. The couple, according to the marina, used a McNugget from McDonald's to catch the bass weighing nearly 11 pounds and measuring 24 inches.

The marina posted that the fish was photographed and let back in the water, presumably to tell her fish friends about how great McNuggets taste.

Experienced and superstitious fishing fanatics have long touted their special bait choices, like raw hot dogs and dog food.

Now that we know McNuggets get the bass moving you might start seeing more early morning runs to McDonald's near your local fishing holes.

No word yet if the couple used barbecue sauce on the nugget.
