John Sly of Tacoma has established the state record for the largest redbanded rockfish caught in state waters, the Washington Department of Fish and Wildlife confirmed last week. Sly caught the 7.54-pound redbanded rockfish while jigging with bait out of Westport on June 21. There was no previous state record established for this species. A complete listing of Washington’s state record fish is available at WDFW’s website: https://wdfw.wa.gov/fishing/records.
