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
