The fishing of Baltimore County captures a new state record yellow perch in the Chesapeake department – Nottinghammd.com

“I endlessly collapsed on the fish to the surface and even took time to watch him fly from an eagle,” Dembek says in a statement. When he finally looked at what he had caught, he realized that it was much more fish.

“I called to my friend Lee Haile to connect the fish,” Dembek said. Haile, who holds the Pickerel State Record in the Net -in -Division, helped DemBeck land the record yellow perch.

The couple took the fish to Gibby’s seafood in Lutheville to weigh it on a certified scale, and the Erik Zlokovitz recreation coordinator confirmed the species. The fish took the record of a 2,2-year-old, caught by Neals Rooster on November 21, 1979.

Dembeck caught fishing on a yellow perch from the 1960s, DNR said, saying that capturing record fish was “chasing all life.”
