AWARDS AND RECORDS

State Record Fish

Record Application

A potential state record fish must remain intact until officially confirmed.

Weigh the fish on certified scales as soon as possible. The weighing must be done before the fish is frozen and must be witnessed.

The fish must be species confirmed by a KDWP fisheries biologist or a Fisheries Division regional supervisor. (A tissue sample may be required.)

A color photograph of the fish must accompany the application. Fish species that are threatened or endangered will not be accepted.

All applications for state records require a waiting period before certification. Contact the KDWP Fisheries Division at (620) 672-5911 for more information.

Only species listed under “state record fish” shall be considered for potential state records.
