SIOUX FALLS, S.D. (KELO) — A new state fishing record has been set.
2024 KELOLAND Winter Special: How much snow?
The South Dakota Game, Fish & Parks says Ty Smith broke a record in the bowfishing category with a 6-pound, 12-ounce brown trout.
Smith shot the fish at Lake Oahe.
The GFP lists all of the state record fish on a website under the fish tab listed as state records.
State fish records are now categorized in three methods — hook and line records, bowfishing records and unrestricted (any other legal means other than hook and line or bowfishing).
Anyone who catches a fish they think would be considered as a state record needs to have the fish weighed on a certified scale — most grocery stores and meat lockers have them.
