Anyone know how it was caught? Overnight trap, or jigged. I’m sure winni has more records to be caught!

Jigging. He posted a video on Facebook before he knew he had the record

Good for him! It's nice to see many state records (crappie, lake trout) being broken in recent years. Did he say if he was fishing for cusk when he caught it, or was it a bycatch when he was fishing for something else?

That's my assumption too, I've caught many cusk (all in Maine though) jigging for lakers, just never heard of anyone targeting them with a jig.

Didn't work for me, probably because I'm not part of the Facebook group.
