 After making changes to the record fish program, the Minnesota Department of Natural Resources has seen steady interest from anglers in documenting their largest catches, as evidenced by the nine new state record fish that the Minnesota DNR has certified since March. In March, the Minnesota DNR expanded the catch and release record category to add additional species and made more space for records in the certified weight category by creating a separate category for records established before an accredited scale was required to document a fish's weight.
