Rules for State-Record Fish
For more information on the state-record
fish program, visit the Pennsylvania Fish
and Boat Commission's (PFBC's) website at
fishandboat.com. Some of the state-record fish
rules are below.
* Only those fish on the official state-record fish
listing will be recognized. This list is published
on the PFBC website (fishandboat.com).
* Obtain an application on the PFBC's website
* If you believe that you have caught the next
state record, have the fish weighed as soon as
possible on a scale certified legal for trade.
The scale must display a valid seal with an
identification. Obtain a receipt of the weight
along with the signature of the person weighing
the fish (someone other than the angler).
* The weight of the potential new record fish
must exceed the current state-record weight
by 2 ounces or more to be considered as a
new record.
* Fish must be caught in Pennsylvania waters
open to the public without charge, fee, special
permission, or membership. This includes open
to the public without condition, restriction,
or requirement set forth by the landowner
or lessor. Farm and private ponds, regulated
fishing lakes, ponds or stream sections, or
waters restricted to use by club members or
their guests are not considered open to the
public, even if no fee is charged.
* Fish must be caught by legal methods, using
the approach of fair chase, during legally
open seasons on the water where the fish was
taken. There is no catch-and-release category
for state-record fish. Fair chase means the
ethical, sportsmanlike, and lawful pursuit
and catching free-ranging fish in a manner
that does not give the angler an improper
advantage over the fish.
* Fish caught by licensed resident and nonresident
anglers are eligible. Fish must be caught, hooked,
and played by one angler, and that angler must
be named on the application. Assistance is
permissible when landing or boating the fish.
The PFBC reserves the right to further
investigate the identification, methods used in
catching, and the accuracy of measuring and
weighing. It also reserves the right to reject
any application.
For complete rules and a copy of the application,
visit the PFBC's website.
