A Virginia man caught a fish that’s so rare, it was recognized by state wildlife officials.
Retired veteran John Byrd, of Bowling Green, Virginia, reeled in an 11.5-inch blue-mouth chain pickerel from a 14-acre private pond in Caroline County, according to the Virginia Department of Wildlife Resources (DWR). |
