A pending state-record muskie catch has been rejected due to a border dispute. The fish was caught on the New York side of a lake that spans both New York and New Jersey, leading to a controversy over which state's record it should be eligible for. The angler, who had been chasing a muskie of this size for years, is disappointed but not surprised by the decision.
