You’ve got to be a big fish to get in the record books.
A Virginia man has set a new record after catching the heaviest Fallfish in the state. The previous record for this type of fish was only set last year.
Jerry R. Hall caught a 3-pound, 5-ounce Fallfish while fishing on the Cowpasture River in Lexington, Va., according to the Virginia Department of Wildlife Resources (DWR). The fish also measured at 19-3/4 inches long.
The previous record, set in 2020 by David Legg, weighed 2-pounds, 8-ounces.
According to the DWR, Hall said, I’m pro staff on the Limit Six Trout Team so I put a lot of time in on the water. For me, all the fishermen are a big family. That’s what Limit Six prides itself on; we’re a family. I love getting outdoors with my daughter and she loves to fish; it’s father-daughter bonding time. It’s not having to think about work or anything else that’s going on in the world. I am definitely going to get this record fish mounted.

ROCKBRIDGE, Va. – A Sunday afternoon fishing trip led to a record-breaking catch from one Rockbridge man.
Jerry Hall was spending his afternoon fishing for trout along Cowpasture River in Bath County when a particularly heavy fallfish hit his Joe’s fly on March 21, according to the Virginia Department of Wildlife Resources (DWR).
The next thing he knew, he caught a fallfish that weighed 3 pounds, 5 ounces and was 19.75 inches in length.
Hall said he normally catches and releases the fish, but he had an inkling he had a record-breaking catch.

THE WASHINGTON POST – It’s hard not to giggle at the clumsy, clownish walk of a brown pelican. But their graceful flying in precise formations is awe-inspiring.
Bill Portlock, a retired educator with the Chesapeake Bay Foundation, became interested in them years ago when he first saw them “plunge diving” – making a headfirst dive from as much as 65 feet up, zooming arrowlike with folded wings into water for food. Their expanding gular (throat) pouches can scoop up to three gallons of water while catching fish.
The quirky birds will soon return to the Chesapeake Bay after wintering on the Southern coast. They are fascinating to observe but even more interesting after learning about their survival story.
