Gov. Justice also took time to congratulate a pair of anglers for recently catching new state-record fish in West Virginia.

Ayden Minick of Mt. Pleasant, PA, recently caught and released a new West Virginia state-record common carp while fishing from the bank of Summersville Lake in Nicholas County.
Minick’s record fish was 41.2 inches long and weighed 45.2 pounds. The trophy carp surpassed the previous West Virginia length record of 41.0 inches, caught in 1988 by Charles Cook at Stonecoal Lake. However, Minick’s fish did not beat the current weight record of 47.0 pounds, caught in a Preston County farm pond by Gary Johnson in 1998.

Steve Price of Lancaster, OH, recently caught and released a blue catfish that broke the state record for both weight and length while fishing from a boat on the lower section of the Kanawha River between Buffalo and Point Pleasant.
.
Price’s record fish was 50.7 inches long and weighed 67.22 pounds. The trophy catfish eclipsed the weight record of 61.28 pounds held by Cody Carver for only seven weeks and also broke the length record of 50.15 inches held by Justin Goode since 2021.
