## Caption

A 12-year-old fisherman from northwest Montana landed a heavy largescale sucker weighing close to 7 pounds and measuring 25.25 inches long.

Wade Merschat was bank fishing at the Noxon Rapids Reservoir in northwest Montana on June 19 when he hooked into a largescale sucker that he knew instantly was big enough to beat the standing record. The catch was certified on Monday, officially recognizing the 12-year-old’s 6.72-pounder as the new state record for the species.
