In New Jersey, a local man just set a new record, according to the NJ Division of Fish and Wildlife. Hunter and fisherman, Andrew Cunningham-Moorat shares the exciting news:

On September 30, 2021, Joe Satkowski of New Jersey reeled in quite the catch!  Weighing in at a whopping 8 pounds, 10 ounces and measuring in at 26 inches long with a girth of 16.25 inches, the angler is the largest salmon caught in a landlocked lake.  The previous record was for an angler that weighed five ounces less than Satkowski’s catch.

Wow!  Talk about a great day out on the water!  As a hobby fisherman himself, Andrew Cunningham-Moorat certainly has to marvel at Joe Satkowski’s winning combination of luck and lure appeal.  Congratulations on the new record!
