New State Record Yellow Perch Caught at Summersville Lake

SUMMERSVILLE, W.Va. – A state record yellow perch was caught by Craig Hollandsworth of Cowen, W.Va., according to Frank Jezioro, Director of the Division of Natural Resources.
Mr. Hollandsworth caught the 15.44-inch, 1.20-pound fish at Summersville Lake in Nicholas County on May 9, 2010, using a live minnow for bait. His catch establishes a new West Virginia record for length. The previous length record for yellow perch was 15.25 inches caught by Joshua Carr from a private pond in Upshur County in 2008. The weight record for yellow perch of 1.83 pounds still stands and was caught by Charles Mayle from Tygart Lake in 1985.
Anglers who believe that they have caught a state record fish should check the record listing in the current West Virginia Division of Natural Resources Fishing Regulations brochure. The brochure also outlines the procedure to follow for reporting a state record catch. This information is also available online at http://www.wvdnr.gov/.
