Hoosier, appropriately from Fishers, IN, sets new Kentucky record Ive fished for a long time and I catch a baitfish for a state record - MIKE LADENDORF Record skipjack herring taken in Cumberland River near Burkesville, KY Story courtesy Kentucky Fish & Wildlife Frankfort, KY Mark Ladendorf of Fishers, Indiana cast a clown-colored jointed Rapala just downstream of the Burkesville Boat Ramp on Cumberland River while fishing with a guide March 13, 2006. Instead of a trophy brown trout hitting his minnow bait, a 19+ inch long skipjack herring that had a girth of 10 ? inches inhaled it. It is the new state record for the species. Ive fished for a long time and I catch a baitfish for a state record, Ladendorf said with a laugh. I didnt even know what it was. It hit my lure right at the surface. Ladendorfs guide, Robert Capps, told him he might have a state record when he saw the fish in the landing net. We threw it in a cooler and took it to Stranges Bait and Tackle and weighed it, Ladendorf said. Record skipjack herring weighed over 3 pounds The record skipjack herring weighed 3.075 pounds. It bested the old record of 2 pounds, 13 ounces set by Greg Cary from the Cumberland River in 2001. This trip on Cumberland River proved memorable for the entire Ladendorf family. Ladendorfs son, Lance, caught a 21 ?-inch brown trout on the trip. We caught about a dozen trout that day, Ladendorf said. The only mistake I made was that I didnt stay two days. The Kentucky Department of Fish and Wildlife Resources (KDFWR) manages, regulates, enforces and promotes responsible use of all fish and wildlife species, their habitats, public wildlife areas and waterways for the benefit of those resources and for public enjoyment. KDFWR, an agency of the Commerce Cabinet, has an economic impact to the state of $4.8 billion annually. For more information on KDFWR, visit our web site at fw.ky.gov.
