A California fisherman may have broken records by catching a 10.25-pound canary rockfish
Brendan Walsh caught a canary rockfish weighing 10.25 pounds, surpassing the previous state record of 9 pounds, with verification pending from state and international authorities.
- On Tuesday, Brendan Walsh landed a 10.25-pound canary rockfish near the Albion River Harbor in Mendocino County, a notable catch reported by local outlets this week.
- He was headed back with his father, Will Walsh, after catching yellowtail when he stopped at a deeper fishing spot near Albion as the weather changed and made one last cast.
- Measured at 2.25 feet, the fish was weighed at an authorized fish market and a state fish and wildlife scientist signed the paperwork, Walsh said.
- He submitted the catch to state and international record authorities and is awaiting validation from the California Department of Fish and Wildlife and the International Game Fish Association.
- Record uncertainty remains because Walsh says larger fish may have been caught but never submitted, as the typical canary rockfish weighs 2–5 lbs and his usual catches are around 3 lbs.
