Super User fishfordollars Posted February 2, 2008 Super User Posted February 2, 2008 Not fishing, but I used to hold some IHRA drag racing records. Quote
Super User Raul Posted February 2, 2008 Super User Posted February 2, 2008 Matt from Mattlures is the world record holder for common goldfish ( Carassius auratus ). Quote
Fish Chris Posted February 2, 2008 Posted February 2, 2008 way back in 1985 I caught a 4 lb line class World Record Striper, of 16 lb 4ounces. It got crushed about 2 years later... but that was fine. Records are made to be broken. They can't take my IGFA certficiate away from me :-) Then I caught the Rancho Seco Lk. record Largemouth, of 18.4 lbs, on 4/10/03, which, because of the current situation in that lake, is liable to stand for a long time..... or even permanently. Nonetheless, I'd love to see that place make a comeback. What a great place that was. Peace, Fish PS, My 8.5 lb PB Smallmouth "was the Lk. record" the week before I caught her.... but had lost .4 lbs since the week before, during her previous C/R. Since then, however, there have been at least three 9+ lb'ers caught, one of which, a 9.7 lb'er, is now our new state record. I strongly believe that record will be broken again this year though, with a 10+ lb Smallie !!! Crazy, huh ? Quote

They had two 9+'ers caught there during the press day last week before it opened to the public. What a good way to start the season for that lake. That lake is going to be pretty heavily fished this year. Quote
Super User Alpster Posted February 2, 2008 Super User Posted February 2, 2008 Is there a world record for procrastination? If there is, I think I can beat that one, but it will have to wait until tomorrow. Ronnie Quote
tfisherman Posted February 2, 2008 Posted February 2, 2008 I know my dad has or may still have the lake record bass for Belews lake NC his is 12lbs+ It was certified by the game warden I won't believe anyone else unless they do the same! A lot of tourney cheating going on at that lake. I caught a huge Gar at Buggs Island it's back fin was wider than my head and it was 5ft+ long at least. All we could do was hold it beside the boat I wasn't about to ruin the carpet in my dad's bass boat. I caught it on a Rattlin' Rogue. It looked like the huge ones caught up north. I wanted to take it in for weight but we really had no way without sliming the boat to death and loading it on the back of the truck. My dad finally said I could but I just let it go it wasn't worth the trouble it would have caused me dad. I have seen citations for Gars and the one I caught would have eaten those citations. I don't know what the state record is but it was for sure the lake. Quote

Super User Gatorbassman Posted February 3, 2008 Super User Posted February 3, 2008 I caught the Savannah River record Redear Sunfish. I smashed the old record by 1.2 lbs. The only problem was I found this out after I had cooked it and had it for dinner. > Quote
Cajun1977 Posted February 3, 2008 Posted February 3, 2008 d**n gene that sucks :'( a buddy of mine was at the cleaning station one time and as he was cutting the filets off the last wiper, the fish and game cop came over to talk and pretty much told him he just filleted the state record wiper Quote
