DNREC Confirms New State Records for Two Invasive Fish Species Increasingly Sought After by Anglers
DNREC recently confirmed state record catches for two invasive fish species. A 33-pound, 15.68-ounce Flathead Catfish was caught by Jason Wise of Bear, establishing the first state record for the species, while a 15-pound, 8-ounce Northern Snakehead, measuring 31.5 inches, was caught in June by Dyllan Rust of Harrington, surpassing the previous record for the species, established less than a month earlier, by 11 ounces.
