A tiny fish landed on the deck. A new record was broken

Robert Glover’s feat was reported by WV Metro News. Inhabitant Morgantown (Monongalia County) went to the lake by car in early August Cheat. He transported a boat on a trailer, which he then launched on the mentioned reservoir.

At one point he felt a tug – immediately after which he started a fight with a small specimen of the family Centrarchidae (trout fish).

The fishing community is buzzing!

A freshwater fish – sun bass (Lepomis gibbosus) – soon found its way aboard his vessel.

How much did she measure and weigh? Details Glover revealed on the podcast “West Virginia Outdoors”

She measured 9.76 inches (24.79 centimeters) and was certified as 0.75 pounds (0.34 kilograms). This is officially a new West Virginia state record!
