Twelve Year Old Shatters New Fishing Record

fishing

If there is one thing I know about fishing, it is that certain people are about certain things.

Some folks want to end up catching as many fish as they can in a day.

Some folks are just concerned with catching a good one to have put on a wall. Some folks just want something good to eat.

And some folks are all about the records. I think that every person that goes fishing secretly hopes that they will set a record one day.

There isn’t a fisherman alive that doesn’t want to be known for catching “the biggest” this or that.

Another “biggest” record has been set in the state of Montana near the Idaho border (heck of a place to fish by the way) and one young man could not be happier.

Wade Merschat, a twelve year old boy, managed to pull in a largescale sucker that weighed in at 6.72 pounds.

The sucker that Wade caught was an astounding 25.25 inches in length. I have to admit for only twelve years old he definitely has a lot of skill and patience beyond his years.

The bait that he used to reel in this monster of a fish was an old reliable nightcrawler.

I can tell you for generations in my own family as well as countless other families of anglers that the nightcrawler has been the reliable old standby.

You can use as many glow in the dark rubber whatever the heck’s and not catch nearly as many fish as you can with a nightcrawler.

The previous state record for a largescale sucker was set in 2008, when an angler caught a 6.16-pound fish measuring 23.1 inches in length in Kalispell.

Wade’s catch not only surpassed the previous weight record by more than half a pound but also exceeded the length of the previous record holder by over two inches.

This brand new record is not only a personal triumph for Wade but also a moment of great pride for the great state of Montana.

It is another one of those things that highlights the richness of the natural resources of the state and the opportunities for recreational fishing within its borders.

This probably won’t be the last record that Wade sets either, if he is already this good at twelve years old.
