2006 Indiana record fish
-------------------------
The Department of Natural Resources has recognized 22 anglers for outstanding fish caught in 2006. Three state records were broken and 19 anglers were awarded Fish of the Year honors.
Each year, the DNR tracks the largest fish of more than 50 species caught with hook and line in Indiana.
The Indiana Record Fish program recognizes new state record catches, while the Fish of the Year program recognizes anglers who catch and report the largest fish of each species each year, short of a new state record.
