Minnesota Fish Sets New Record

A Minnesota angler just snagged a 31.25-inch blue sucker from the Mississippi River—now Minnesota’s new catch-and-release record holder. Once called “sweet suckers” and once nearly wiped out by pollution and habitat loss, these fish are making a comeback thanks to the Clean Water Act. Joe Busch knew he had something special when his fish jumped and fought like crazy. After documenting the catch, he released it back into the wild—a thrilling moment for conservation and a sign of hope for the species’ recovery.
