State Record Fish

The Missouri State Record Fish Award recognizes an angler’s top achievement—catching the biggest fish of that species in Missouri’s history. If your fish satisfies the criteria for being a new state record, you will be awarded a plaque and a place on the State Record Fish List. Check the State Record Fish List below for current records and rules, and then use the State Record Fish Entry Form to submit your information for review.
