Minnesota wildlife officials say a silver-phase northern pike caught last week by a Wisconsin angler may have been huge, but it won't breach the state record.Mark Plumley of St. Croix Falls, Wisconsin caught the 18 pound, 14 1/2 ounces fish at Snowbank Lake near Ely Wednesday.
The Department of Natural Resourcse used to keep records for silver pike, but no longer recognizes it among record fish because that color phase isn't a distinct species.
