Ever Catch a Record?

[MCTFisher9120]

IMO We at OFC have some of the finest anglers around. So I'm just a little curious to see if any of you have any record fish, either lake records, species specific, international etc...I'm not going to expect a full thread full of responses but am just a little curious to see what some of you may of caught. I remember in the winter somebody on here caught what they thought was a record ling(correct me if im wrong) through the ice, so for me that's all i know about.

 

Thanks and lets see some giants.(or record small fish if you want )

 

 

 

MTBF

 

*Edit-Does anybody know a site on lake records for things like bass, pike, perch etc or are lake specific records more a local thing?

I've been lucky to hold National Live Release Records for Brown Trout and Atlantic Salmon both caught in 1991 that are certified by National Fish Registry.

I caught a monster WGSF when I was younger. Before my dad could think about it, it was released back in the drink.

Lol anybody else remember Berkeley's $1k IGFA promotion? If you set an IGFA record with Trilene, you'd get USD$1k. Well that's all well & good, except that a few guys clued into the fact that alot of obscure fish didn't have ANY official records set, so you'd get guys going on an Alaskan trip for inconnu, and catch a 15lb'er on Monday, a 17lb'er on Tuesday, and a 19lb'er on Wednesday.....and all were records. Woot there's their fishing trip paid for, thanks Trilene!

 

At one time I was the 4lb & 30lb line class record holders for carp, helped pay for my first motorcycle in high school

Back in the 80's I caught what would have been the all tackle world record for carp at 55# had I not released it to fight another day.
