... moreNew state records were set for longest catch-and-release fish in Long Island Sound, the state Department of Energy and Environmental Protection announced this week.
The Fisheries Division said the longest fish in its Trophy Fish Award Program was created last year to recognize anglers who prefer to release their catch.
Unlike other categories in the program, the catch-and-release fish are measured, not weighed.
Evan Kamoen, of Killingworth, caught a 20.75-inch Spanish mackerel, caught and released in Niantic.
Al Zuppe, of West Haven, set with two new records, the first for a Cownose Ray, measuring 57.75 inches at Sandy Point Beach and a “monster” weakfish at 33.75 inches caught and released at the West Haven Breakwall in New Haven Harbor.
Jennifer Zuppe, of West Haven, set a record with a Scup (Porgy), measuring 19 and 7/8 inches caught and released at the New Haven Breakwall.
Among the rules in the program are submitting photos and filling out affidavit.
Other rules require that a witness must be present when the fish's length is measured and a clear photo must accompany the affidavit. This photo must include the angler holding the fish and the fish next to a measuring (yardstick, ruler, or tape measure) device to clearly show length of fish.
The accompanying photo must be taken at the location where the fish was caught and released.
Fish cannot be taken from the site and then transported back and fish must be released alive.
