MANILA, Arkansas A woman who thought she may have broken the state record with a goldeye fish catch a few years ago caught another big one on April 2, which was confirmed by Arkansas Game and Fish Commission (AGFC) as the new state-record goldeye catch.
Jamie Wilhoite caught a fish a few years back that she didn t recognize. She took a picture of the fish and later found out it was a goldeye. From her memory of the weight of the fish she had caught, she wondered if it might have exceeded the state record.
