Dwayne Johnson Reveals Large Catch Over Memorial Day Weekend

Many people like to go fishing over Memorial Day weekend, and it seems the “Red Notice” actor is no exception. The Rock posted a photo of him wearing an Iron Paradise shirt and smiling widely for the camera as he held up his catch of the day.

“11 pounds and a personal Largemouth record for me 👊🏾 🎣” The Rock wrote in the caption of the photo. “She’s a beauty and absolutely crushed the soft swimbait I was working. And of course she goes back into the water so she can grow and get even bigger! 💪🏾”

“Thank you darlin’ for the dance and I’ll see you down the road 😉❤️” he added. “Hope you guys all had a great Memorial Day weekend.”

Many fans showered the post with heart emojis, although it was hard for many to forget the time that Bear Grylls teased the “Jumanji” actor for his previous fishing fumble.
