Way to go @christaylorwi.bsky.social !

Damn, state Supreme Court race was called and polls just closed 30 minutes ago

I hadn't heard anything since I submitted the application so I was wondering if I made a mistake somewhere in the process. I have also held 2 regular state records (Golden Shiner and Golden Redhorse), but neither of those lasted very long. I still have the live release record Channel Catfish

My 2nd live release state record! I was obsessed with the idea of catching a burbot as a teenager and didn't manage to accomplish it until I was nearly 21. Since then it has become a top contender for 1 of my favorite species

I think I've caught 12 Moxostoma species: Black, Blacktail, Golden, Greater, Notchlip, Pealip, River, Shorthead, Smallmouth, and Silver Redhorses, as well as Brassy and Greater Jumprock. Probably at least 1 undescribed species too
