My family was visiting the Benner fish hatchery in State College and came across this. Our family fishes at Glendale and we had no idea. It looks like this record might never be broken!

I was younger, but remember that happening. Haven't heard of anyone even catching one for a long time.

I recall it also. The state quit stocking them,i thing,prior to that one being caught?
I wonder if they just bred with our Pike and just faded away.

I remember seeing the fish at one of the tackle shops back them, to be honest it wasn't even close to the size of the other pike/muskie and didn't draw that much attention when the guy brought it in, just that it was a different species, I live about 5 miles from the lake and haven't heard of any being caught in many years..tough place to fish!
