Where Is The Next World-Record Going To Be Caught?

I hope it is caught by me in Kansas!

I just hope I can beat my PB of 7-6.

I'm going with anything but Dixon lake in san Diego, ca. Its about 5 minutes from my house and more like a pond than anything else lol. Theres really only one place to fish from shore, and no boats, just kayaks and the like allowed and only caught a few smalls ones and have been there alot. The record at Dixon was 25.1 and to my knowledge the fish died a few years ago, and so far the only fish there it seems is about a pound to two at the most. Definitely not my favorite lake in Socal

Maybe it was originally raised in an aquarium and fed a protein packed diet.

Now that is having some high hopes right there! Considering our state record is just over half way to the world record

When casitas resumes trout stocking, i'd say Casitas. Its because it is 15 miles from the ocean , and the water never gets colder than 56 degrees or hotter than 82 degrees the entire year.   i would count out any lake (castaic, etc) where Stripers have been stocked. stripers just mess up the big bass situation.   The record for Casitas weighed 21.19 pounds,  Tom has can attest to the 15lb+ fish caught at casitas.

I would like to think the Great Lakes have a record somewhere for pretty much any species that swim in there. They are just so massive who really knows. Without a doubt there is more record smallies out there. They are just so big how do you know. It's like fishing a lake from the bank and never moving. You just can't cover that kind of water. It probably pays to be lucky more then good.

Largemouth from Japan.

 

Smallmouth is very unlikely to be broken. I wouldn't be surprised to see Simcoe cough up a 10lber.  

 

Spot from California.

Simcoe will cough up a 10 lber.  Just a matter of when

I wouldn't be surprised to see california put out a world record largemouth, spotted bass, or even smallmouth bass in the next few years. The best chance to catch a record would probably be a spotted bass. There's plenty of ca lakes putting out 9+ lbers. I think there's a couple lakes in NorCal that could cough up a world record smallie too... Just some of my thoughts on the subject idk.
