If you catch a really big one during Minnesota's fishing opener May 11 and release it, you could be eligible for one of 18 new categories of state catch-and-release fishing records.

The Minnesota Department of Natural Resources added the new species this year to account for the growing popularity of catch-and-release fishing and to raise the respect level for some lesser-known species.

All you need to do is take measurements, snap a photo, have a reliable witness in your boat during the catch and fill out a catch-and-release application form available at bit.ly/3UC387Q.
