JEFFERSON CITY, Mo. — The Missouri Department of Conservation congratulates Bryant Rackers of Bonnots Mill for tying the current state record for skipjack herring.
Rackers was fishing on the Osage River October 27 when he caught the 3-pound fish using the pole-and-line method. The catch ties with the previous record fish, which was caught on the Missouri River November 12, 2017.

Rackers is now one of four people who currently holds multiple state records. He’s also the current record holder under “alternative methods” for the blue sucker snagged in 2018.
The fish was weighed on a certified MDC scale in Cole County.
