UPDATED: 02/15/2019. The following is a listing of the record size fish caught in Minnesota, by species. At this time, only those fish caught by hook and line are eligible for a Minnesota State record. Fish caught by bow and arrow, by net, or other means are not included in the State records. This list also does NOT include record fish from the “Catch and Release” program (this only involves muskellunge, lake sturgeon or flathead catfish).
