Rules for State-Record Fish
• Only those fish on the official state-record fish
listing will be recognized. This list is published on
the Pennsylvania Fish & Boat Commission (PFBC)
website (www.fishandboat.com) and is available
from PFBC offices and official measuring stations.
• To be considered a state record, the new fish
weight must exceed the current state-record weight
by 2 ounces or more. Fish will be weighed to the
nearest ounce.
• Fish must be caught in Pennsylvania waters open
to the public without charge or fee. Fish taken
from farm and private ponds, regulated fishing
lakes, ponds or streams or in waters restricted to
use by club members or their guests do not qualify.
• Fish must be caught by legal methods during
legally open seasons on the water where the fish
was taken.
• Fish must be weighed on a certified scale.
Weighing must be witnessed by one person,
not including the angler or any companions
accompanying the angler at the time of the catch.
• Measurements must be made with a metal
ruler or tape. Measurements must be made by an
official measuring station or authorized employee
of PFBC.
• Species identification must be verified by a
PFBC biologist, Waterways Conservation Officer
March/April 2017or other authorized employee of PFBC.
• A clear side-view color photograph of the fish
is required. Fins should be spread open as much
as possible.
• Application must be received within 60 days of
the catch.
• Licensed resident and non-resident anglers
are eligible.
• Completed application must be sworn to and
properly notarized.
• The PFBC reserves the right to investigate the
identification, methods used in catching and
the accuracy of measuring and weighing. It also
reserves the right to reject any application.
• Each entry becomes the property of PFBC
including all publication rights. Photographs will
not be returned.
• Parental signature is required for applicants
under 18 years of age.
Visit the Commission’s website, www.fishandboat.com
