New Hampshire Man Catches Record-Breaking 12lb Fish, Almost 3ft Long
Quote:
Ryan Scott Ashley from Gilmanton, NH, caught the freshwater cusk on January 13, 2022, in Lake Winnipesaukee—the largest lake in the state.
The fish measured 35 inches in length and weighed 12 pounds, 8.48 ounces, making it a new state record freshwater cusk catch, New Hampshire Fish and Game (NHFG) said in a social media post.
Freshwater cusk, otherwise known as burbot or by their scientific name Lota lota, are found throughout the world in northern latitudes.
