LONG-STANDING MUSKY RECORD BROKEN The State Record Fish Committee of the Virginia Department of Game and Inland Fisheries (VDGIF) has certified a new state record muskellunge, commonly called musky. On June 1, 2007, Shannon Hill, of Christiansburg, Virginia, caught a 45 pound, 8 ounce musky from the New River. That topped the existing record of 45 pounds set in 1989 by R. A. Underwood, a fish that was also caught in the New River. Mr. Hill's huge musky measured 53 inches long and had a girth of 24.5 inches. For more information about the record freshwater fish program and to see a complete list of the current State Record Freshwater Fish http://www.dgif.virginia.gov/fishing/tr ... ecords.asp , visit the VDGIF Web site's Trophy Fish section http://www.dgif.virginia.gov/fishing/trophy/ . Fisheries biologists in the VDGIF Regional Office in Marion (276-783-4860) can provide detailed information on where and how to catch musky in Virginia.
