2004-05-07

The Minnesota Department of Natural Resources today confirmed as a news species record a 4-pound 2.4-ounce white bass caught May 4 by Tony Adolfino of Joliet, Ill.

The white bass was 18.5 inches long, with a 15.1-inch girth. Adolfino was fishing with a minnow from the Alma Float in Pool 5 of the Mississippi River, south of Wabasha.

A pair of 4-pound white bass, caught in the St. Croix River and Pool 8 of the Mississippi River, were tied for the previous state record. Fish caught anywhere in a Minnesota border water are eligible to hold a Minnesota state record.
