What’s the biggest fish you’ve ever caught? A 7-pound largemouth, a 2-pound crappie or a
45-pound blue catfish? While your fish might not be a new state record, it possibly could be
the biggest fish ever caught from your favorite lake. Thanks to a network of record-keepers
at lakes across the state, your next trophy could qualify as a lake record.
The Lake Record Fish Program was established as a way to serve anglers and
recognize big fish and the lakes they come from. To find out more, go online to
