Record Fish Caught at Summersville Lake

A Pennsylvania resident caught a record carp while fishing from the bank of Summersville Lake. Ayden Minick of Mount Pleasant, Pennsylvania, caught and released the carp on May 7, according to the Division of Natural Resources. It measured by a DNR fisheries biologist at 41.2 inches long, breaking the record of 41 inches caught in 1988 by Charles Cook at Stonecoal Lake. The carp weighed 45 pounds, which was just shy of the record of 47 pounds set in 1998 in a Preston County farm pond.
