One day last month after work, Mitchell Dering of Missouri decided to go bowfishing and wound up adding to his “collection” of record fish, this one a world record.
He was bowfishing at Duck Creek Ditch #105 on March 14 and “just got lucky, honestly,” Dering told the Missouri Department of Conservation. “We shoot a lot of smaller fish. I knew it was a bullhead, but didn’t know it was a brown bullhead. But I knew it was large for its size.”
