That makes sense. I will be shocked if I see that state record broken in my lifetime. It would be great though. Look at the frequency in which a 10+ lber is caught - I'd be willing to bet it's about less than one per year (at least according to this data), that tells you that a 10lber is exceptionally rare. Yes, I'm sure some aren't reported, but if you look at this data you'd be hard pressed to disagree that the chances of a fish close to 13lbs being slayed in CT are about 1 in a million.
