A couple of calls to the Fish Lab:

[Mark B.]

1. Angler from Andover says that he may have caught the new NJ State Record Largemouth Bass. It is in his fridge, and he believes, over 10 lbs. I tell him that it has to be over 10 lbs. 14oz. & I forward him the State Record Fish Application. Haven’t heard back from him.

2. Angler says he caught (on a fly) & released a 50” muskie @ Mountain Lake. Might have been a new NJ State Record, but he didn’t want to kill it. I am awaiting photos to submit for a Skillful Angler Award.
