An angler in West Virginia caught a record-breaking muskellunge fish last week. Since he decided to release the fish, however, it’s possible that the animal could continue to grow and another angler could break the record by catching the same fish. Chase Gibson, a fishing guide in West Virginia, reeled in a musky that weighed 39.6 pounds and measured 54-inches-long, WFXR Fox reports. FISH AND WILDLIFE SERVICEAaron Yeager, a biologist for the West Virginia Division of Natural Resources responded to a call from Gibson to have the fish measured. Yeager has reportedly worked the West Virginia DNR to develop fish habitats in the area where the record-breaking musky was caught.
