A mid-Missouri man recently reeled in a “blue sucker” fish that not only represents a new state record, but possibly a world record too.

Auxvasse resident Travis Uebinger went fishing on the Osage River on Jan. 15, catching an 11-pound, 5-ounce blue sucker.

The Missouri Department of Conservation recently confirmed that Uebinger’s catch broke a state record from 1997. The previous record for blue sucker was a 9-pound, 14-ounce fish caught on the Missouri River.

Uebinger said he was out fishing with a good friend that day in hopes for white bass or walleye. He used the pole-and-line method, ending up with a state record.
