 The Minnesota Department of Natural Resources says it has certified nine new state record fish since making changes to the program in March. The DNR added more species to the catch-and-release category and made more space for records in the certified weight category. The catch-and-release records include a 35-inch shovel-nosed sturgeon caught on the Minnesota River in Scott County and 22-and-a-quarter-inch smallmouth bass on Basswood Lake in Lake County.
