|  |     State records
    There is a booklet put out by the state (MA) each year with the
    records in them. Also they are published in Fin and Feathers and
    the Outdoor magazines.
    The only one I know is for Bullhead 3 1/2 lbs 18" lg. I know cause
    I tied the state record last year.

| 782.2 | "I swear, it was 30" long... | USMRW7::JROCHE |  | Wed Jun 29 1988 11:22 | 6 | 
|  |     Those stats are covered in MOOD (mass out of doors maganzine). 
    You might also try the division of fish and game in Westboro.  I
    dont have the phone # but it should be in the book.  This months
    MOOD did have all those fish listed.

    What I have are just the Mass awards for 1987.  They are not the
    state records.  However, the three I mentioned were new state records
    and the bullhead was a tie.  The pickerel award for Mass 1987 was
    6 pounds 15 oz.
    
    re .5
    What's wrong with Whitehall???  Nothing if you like to catch
    11 1/2 - 11 7/8 inch bass all day with an ocassional small pickerel.
    All kidding aside, it's tough to catch keeper bass out of there
    let alone a good size bullhead.  Congratulations though on a nice
    catch.
    
    re .7
    I don't know which STATE has the record weight, but the WORLD record
    weight is 22 pounds 4 oz for a largemouth bass.

| 782.10 | RELEASE AND USE A REPLICA | STRATA::WOOLDRIDGE | Worm fishermen have stiffer rods | Fri Jul 01 1988 16:02 | 9 | 
|  | YO,
      This is slightly off the subject, but the record Muskie is 69lbs!
      The record Walleye is 25lbs! These are world records. (not caught
      in Mass. of coarse) I also seem to remember both fish were released!
      The latest  "Fishing Facts" has pictures of the replica fish.
      It takes two guys to hold the Muskie. Now THAT is a fresh water
      fish! Larger fish are thought to be out there....YIKES.
