CEDAR COUNTY - The Nebraska Game and Parks Commission recently certified three state fishing records, including one that topped a record that had stood for 47 years.

Andrew Myer of Norfolk set a bow-and-arrow record when he took an 89-pound paddlefish on the Missouri River in Cedar County on June 14th.

It broke the old record, which was set in 1972, by 3 pounds. The fish was 5 feet, 10 1/2 inches in length from the tip of snout to the tip of the tail.
