Cory Wilson+FollowBrooklyn angler shatters NY fishing recordA Brooklyn retiree just reeled in a piece of New York fishing history! Yongfeng Tian landed a massive white perch at Cross River Reservoir, breaking a state record that stood for 34 years. Using just a lightweight rod and a tiny jig, Tian thought he was catching crappies—until he pulled up a 3-pound, 4-ounce perch, topping the old record by three ounces. Instead of eating his catch, he’s getting it mounted as a trophy. Anyone else ever had a surprise catch that changed your whole day?
