The Kansas Department of Wildlife and Parks reveals the reason behind the recent nullification fo a state fishing record.

 The white crappie was presented as a record-breaking catch last April. The fish was caught by Bobby Parkhurst of Topeka last March. KDWP later received a tip that the fish had registered a lighter weight just after it was first caught. Officials began an investigation and used a metal detector on the fish. The device indicated the presence of metal. An x-ray then revealed two ball bearings inside the fish prompting the state to nullify the record.

The old record set in 1964 by Frank Miller of Eureka has been reinstated, Authorities say there are no plans to press charges in the incident.
