I would think something like 11 plus bass should come out of lakes that require a permit to fish them and are mostly fished from shore, like saltonstall or chamberlain. These are big lakes which barely get fished. the chances of bass surviving for a longer time are far better in lakes like these than any of the lakes that get serious fishing pressure. DEP itself says that saltonstall may hold the state record.Having said that, a fish like this can come out of anywhere.
