This super-sized salmon just obliterated the New York State record—so why isn’t a state record? DEC rules six-pound pink salmon ineligible for state record it "retired" the category

So this guy who's been fishing the Salmon River in upstate NY since there's been salmon in it catches a rare record-breaking pink salmon over Labor Day weekend, but DEC won't recognize it because they 'retired' the record last year.

Wot?
