Bradleyville Teen Now a State Record Holder for Fishing

Riley Isaacs now holds a Missouri state fishing record.

That’s according to the Department of Conservation which reports the 17-year-old from Bradleyville became the latest state record holder for redear sunfish when he was bowfishing at Lake Taneycomo on April 18^th and landed a 2-pound, 3-ouncer.

The previous record under alternative methods was a 2-pound, 2-ounce fish also caught from Lake Taneycomo in 2022.

Isaacs was originally guiding a bowfishing group targeting carp but had to cut the trip short due to incoming storms.
