Moorefield man catches record fish again

In the small West Virginia town where I grew up, there was a barber shop right on the banks of the Elk River. Beside that shop was an old metal, truss-style bridge that allowed access from one side of the river to the other. The town was on both sides of the river and the bridge was the connection.
 

For those of us who fish, the barber shop served as not only a place to get your hair cut but also the connection from the older folks in the shop to fishing stories. With the river as a backdrop, many tales were told of trophy-sized fish, in great detail, which included conversations about the species smallmouth bass, musky, walleyes and catfish. On a rare occasion, the term “state record” would be used and to a young, knobby-kneed boy like me, the term sounded amazing. In fact, at that young impressionable age, catching a state-record fish in my town’s waters seemed like the ultimate prize in the fishing world. How could it get any better?
