Tokyo Tony Posted March 25, 2009 Posted March 25, 2009 Hey guys, I've been trying to find the story and any pictures of the CT state record smallie and largemouth, but have come up empty-handed. Can anyone find information on these two fish? Also, if you have information on the records for any other northeastern state, I would also be interested in that. Thanks Quote
MaineBassMan Posted March 25, 2009 Posted March 25, 2009 If you are asking what CT's state record is : Largemouth = 12 lbs 14 oz. / smallmouth= 7 lbs 12 oz. Maine's record largemouth is 11 lbs 10 oz. Smallmouth is 8 lbs even. Quote

fishizzle Posted March 26, 2009 Posted March 26, 2009 I've never seen any story or pics on CT's records. I'm guessing that info is not public Quote
bassinri Posted March 26, 2009 Posted March 26, 2009 I've never seen any story or pics on CT's records. I'm guessing that info is not public Of course its public record.

Super User Tin Posted March 26, 2009 Super User Posted March 26, 2009 Down boy!!! Down...Wasnt aware. Speedbead the Whipping Boy I do know that CT's next state record will come out of Twin Lakes, that place probably has numerous state record fish in it. I have never seen a public lake that throws out more 3-6 pound fish that Twin. It has the perfect grasslines (until sprayed in July), GIANT craws, and a trout population. Along with tons of white perch and crappie. Quote
DeepStructure Posted March 28, 2009 Posted March 28, 2009 Mass. record was a 15 lb. 8 oz. freak the likes of which New England will not likely produce again... I've heard it was the largest confirmed pure Northern-strain largemouth ever. It was caught through the ice, no less... Quote

EdKras Posted March 29, 2009 Posted March 29, 2009 East twin also has a healthy trout population. alewife will only get a bass so far. to get that big they need a really fattening meal. Quote
Tokyo Tony Posted March 30, 2009 Author Posted March 30, 2009 So no one knows the full story behind any of the New England record bass such as lure/bait, time of year, story, etc.? Any pictures? It seems to me that this shouldn't be such restricted information :-/ Quote
Super User Tin Posted March 30, 2009 Super User Posted March 30, 2009 I couldnt find an exact date to see if it was possible, but I thought I had heard that the 15 pound Mass record was taken through the ice... Quote

Tokyo Tony Posted March 31, 2009 Author Posted March 31, 2009 That's also what I heard, but I wanna see pictures! And was he fishing an UL setup with a crappie jig? Where's the news article? That's the kind of stuff I want to know and see, and I can't find it anywhere! Quote
riverfisher Posted April 2, 2009 Posted April 2, 2009 I couldn't find any stories on them!!
