Silver Carp Taken By Archery Establishes New Record

NASHVILLE --- A fishery record for a silver carp taken by archery has been established, the Tennessee Wildlife Resources Agency has confirmed.

 

Andrew White, of Jackson, established the new mark at Everett Lake, located in Dyer County. The fish weighed 13 pounds, 8 ounces, and will be registered as a Class B record, signifying it was taken by a means other than angling.

 

The criteria to be considered for a state record fish along with the new record application and instructions, state records and fishing license information are in the 2009 TWRA Tennessee Fishing Guide which will be available later this month.
