Mike Clifford Posted October 7, 2009 Report Share Posted October 7, 2009 After hearing about the 10 lb'er from up north, I'm intrigued by the following statistics. Delaware is only at 4 lbs. or so? New York has no idea? I guess Tennessee and some others couldn't be bothered either. Huh! No new records documented in 11 years, from the looks of it, unless I got hold of an outdated list.

Guest Posted October 8, 2009 Report Share Posted October 8, 2009 By the way, the list is outdated. I don't remember the particulars but I do remember from B.A.S.S. Magazine that at least two or three new ones have been caught in the past two years. I believe one was an eight pound plus from Oklahoma and some monster from California (9+).
