I know that a record is coming out of my local lake pretty soon(this ice season!) I've seen and heard of a couple 7,8, and a 10 lbrs coming out in the past few years. Plus the low fishing pressure helps a lot. I've seen some monster bass crusing the shallows there and can't wait to get at 'em come springtime.

Also, my friend recently showed me a magazine cut-out from the 1970s where a man had caught a 16 pounder on Congamond on the fly. The bass was amazingly huge,and it had a large write up about it. I wish I had it, then I would post a pic.

Does anyone know if someone caught a fish on a border lake if it could be counted as both the states record if it fits the bill?
