It may take a while, but every record gets broken.
Over the past year, more people have been out fishing than normal. This has resulted in a lot of new records being set, sometimes only months after the previous one.
One angler in Montana, however, broke a record set 12 years ago.

The Montana Fish, Wildlife and Parks posted about the record-breaking fish on Facebook, announcing that Brandon Wright’s name was being added to the books. According to the post, he caught the fish last Saturday while on a trip to Lake Elmo.
Wright reportedly used a worm on a hook to catch a 22.5-inch largemouth bass that weighed in at 9.575 pounds.
The previous record had been set in 2009.

This is just the latest fishing record to be set.
