SUMMARY: A 7-year-old boy, Gunnar Cheney, set a new record for the largest catfish caught at Lake Lamar Bruce near Saltillo, Mississippi. Cheney reeled in a 17.7-pound catfish, verified by the Mississippi Department of Wildlife, Fisheries, and Parks. The lake, known for its redear sunfish, bluegill, and largemouth bass, has undergone recent renovations including new levees, fish attractors, and fishing piers. Record catches are confirmed by lake officials and the angler is awarded an acknowledgment certificate. Additional fishing records at the lake can be found on the MDWFP website.

SUMMARY: A lawsuit has been filed against legislation allowing the Mississippi Department of Marine Resources (MDMR) to lease public oyster reefs to private entities. Mississippi Commercial Fisheries United argues that Senate Bill 2648, which permits up to 80% of the state’s natural reefs to be leased, is unconstitutional and threatens local fishermen’s livelihoods. The group claims the law undermines public access to the reefs, turning traditional oystermen into dependent workers for private leaseholders. They demand an immediate halt to leasing, transparent impact assessments, and more community involvement in decisions regarding public waters and resources. No comment has been made by MDMR.

Despite 70% budget agreement, key contentious items remain. Governor Reeves, frustrated with delays, set a previous April 30 deadline and suggested withholding lawmakers’ pay during special sessions to save taxpayer money. A special session start date is pending.
