  If you think you or someone else has caught a fish that may be a state record, here's what you need to do:
  • Don't clean and, if at all possible, do not freeze the fish.
  • Keep the fish cool, preferably on ice.
  • Get the fish weighed as soon as possible on a certified scale (usually found in grocery or hardware stores, etc.) and witnessed by an observer.
  • Contact the nearest WDNR office to get the fish species positively identified and to find out whether the fish is actually a state record.
