On the 6th day of Fishmas, a bite on the line came to me, with a trophy yellow perch in a freshwater sea!

A new state record was caught by Jason Flaten, when he reeled in this beauty at Wildhorse Reservoir on December 13th. Weighing in at 1lb 9oz, it beat the previous state record that was actually a tie between two waters. Get out and get your fish on!
