A Gallagher, W.Va. man has set a new state record for tiger trout, according to a press release from the West Virginia Division of Natural Resources.
John Terry caught a 29.13-inch, 11.04-pound tiger trout on March 19 from Seneca Lake in Pocahontas County using a Panther Martin Spinner and 4-pound test line.
The catch surpasses the previous state record of 28.7 inches set by Mike Connelly in 2011 at Krodel Lake.
“We are excited to recognize Mr. Terry for setting a new state record for tiger trout,” WVDNR Director Brett McMillion said. “His accomplishment showcases the outstanding fishing experiences West Virginia has to offer and reflects the passion anglers bring to the waters throughout the state.”
