No fish stories here
When you catch a big fish, no matter what the species, it always is a thrill. It can happen for anyone, regardless of skill level. The Minnesota DNR is expanding the list of qualifying fish for its two programs that recognize any angler whose catch sets a state record.
Certified weight
This program tracks the biggest fish for each listed species based on certified weight.
Catch and release
This program tracks the length and girth of a caught fish and the angler who landed it.
Non-certified weight
A list of fish weight records set before 1980, when the DNR implemented certified weight.
