Confirmed Delaware state record LMB=2/20/16

[Catch 22]

The 11lb10 oz beast bettered the old record by exactly one pound. The  old record10=10 bass from 2012 was caught and released back into the same water that todays catch  came from. Same fish 4yrs later?

The new record bass was certified, photographed and released back into the same pond again which is public. Kudos to the angler.The beast took a white spinnerbait.

Wow! Very cool.

[BassObsessed]

It's actually 11.1 but still a HAWG.. Yeah it could be the same fish . If not there's some good genetics in there. I live about an hour and a half from there.

[chubaka]

I wanna see pictures of this hawg.

I called the shop.

11.1 is correct. The article had a misfire.

[NorcalBassin]

That is awesome... gotta love all the records going down these past few years!

[MIbassyaker]

Awesome!  Heh, I have that exact spinnerbait.

[kickerfish1]

Blade baits whether it be underspins, chatterbaits, A-rigs, or chatterbaits, are all good early and late in the year when other baits haven't "kicked in". 

Congrats to the young angler!

[buzzed bait]

that's incredible!  and released back for another swim!

[S. Sass]

Awesome

So...What's the decimal point for 11lb 10oz?

11 pounds and 10 ounces would be 11.625 pounds. So this bass was 11 pounds and 1.6 ounces (11.10 pounds) assuming I am reading the reports correctly.

I verified...11.10 on that shops scale is 11lbs. 10oz...Certified by my states..Delaware..Fish & Game..Great catch AJ Klein!!!

so was the bass 11.10 pounds (177.6 ounces, aka 11 pounds 1.6 ounces)

or 

was it 11.625 pounds (186 ounces, aka 11 pounds 10 ounces)

I promise, this will be the last math question I will ask today!

Just an awesome bass for Delaware either way!

This should help.

This. The previous record was 10lbs 10oz, which may have been the source of confusion. 

[docirv]

Now that is a truly great day of fishing. Congrats!

[bassguytom]

Wow! That is really cool. I would bet that is the old record fish. There are not that many 10 lb. + bass swimming around up here in the north let alone in the same pond. Congrats to the angler!

[markinny]

excellent catch.11lbs/ 4 oz. is the record in n.y. for large mouth bass.

[everythingthatswims]

That place is going to get pounded

[Catch 22]

I stopped at the shop today to iron out the math in my head.Here is how they do it. The second figure equates to ounces=not tenths

Maybe its a Delaware thing? Actually it the way the scale is calibrated.

In my head a comma or dash  should be written instead of a point.

examples

11.1 = 11 pounds 1 ounce

11.5 = 11 pounds 5 ounces

11.10 = 11 lbs 10 oz

11.15 = 11 lbs 15 oz

11.16 =  12 lbs = which would show up as such on the scale.

As for the lbs & oz thing,check here.

Stout, in Northern public waters and released, too. Congrats to that young man and his catch. He should be proud.
