I can't help but love BigBill's optimism and enthusiasm. I do believe there are some double digit bass in CT. Probably more than people would guess. However, I would think that the majority are in illegal waters. Hopefully when one is caught, it will be by an environmentally conscious angler with a camera and a ruler. I too would love to get a look at one of the fish I am so sought after. Who knows, maybe one of us could catch the state record, I could guarantee one thing.... I'll be trying!
