30 years later, Whitley County still holds the record for largest Cisco
By Jennifer Zartman Romano
The Indiana Department of Natural Resources recently released their official 2009 Fishing Records for the state and Whitley County continues to hold one record.
Phillip Wisniewski continues to hold the record set in 1980 for the largest Cisco caught in the state -- the fish was 3 lb. 12 oz. and caught in Big Cedar Lake.
Only one new record was set in 2009. Paul Huber of Seymour caught a 32.25-inch bowfin that weighed 16.52 lbs. in Mutton Creek in Jackson County. The previous state record bowfin was caught in 1988 and weighed 16.0 lbs.
Several "fish of the year" candidates are noted from 2009 which were caught in nearby Kosciusko and Wabash counties.
