Forsyth County Police pulled a body from Lake Lanier on Sunday morning (March 17). There's a possibility it's a fisherman from Tucker missing since last month, WSB-TV is reporting.

George "Marty" Counts, 47, disappeared Feb. 11 while fishing at the lake, and search crews have been trying to find him ever since. Forsyth County Sheriff's Office deputies had discovered his 15-foot boat stranded on a bank and out of gasoline.

The body is being examined by the local coroner's office in order to make a positive identification.
