Hi Y'All...

Thought it might be cool to collect some freshwater fish records into one place from the states the board members haunt. So am suggesting everyone respond by posting the records they deem useful for their states. Most of the state record info can be found at http://www.statefishingrecords.com/ , but a few of the links there don't work so you may have to go to your state fish & wildlife site for the data (I had to ).
Anyway... for Florida....

Striped Bass 42.2 lbs.
Largemouth Bass 17.2 lbs.
Chain Pickerel 5.7 lbs.
Redear Sunfish 4.8 lbs. (aka "Shellcracker)
Crappie 3.8 lbs.
Bluegill 2.9 lbs.
Sunfish 2.8 lbs.

What say Y'All ?
