Jackson - Dakota Hinson didn’t just have a good day on the
Mississippi River, he had a record breaking day.
The 10-year-old Natchez resident caught a 95-pound blue catfish to
beat the old state record by two pounds. The huge fish was 55 inches
long and 41 inches in girth. It was caught on cut shad near Adams
County.
“We’re always excited when a state record gets broken,” said Ron
Garavelli, MDWFP fisheries bureau director. “It’s even better when
one of our younger anglers is the one getting the big fish.” Check out the other
