Does anyone know what the world records are on any freshwater fish? Any bass or trout or what ever other fish.
look up on search engines pick a state and then go to, fish and game for a state fishin records and look under records for each state as far as i know.
Thanks!
Hey there ReelMN,
One idea is to access the International Game Fish Association’s site as they’ve got their new and beautiful website up and running.
Website address: http://www.igfa.org that’s .org
There are 155 world records that non-memebers can view without becoming an IGFA member. Look around the site as there’s lots of interesting things to learn and enjoy.
As mentioned in a previous post, state records need to be searched state by state.

The only catch and release world record I know of is St. George resident Hart Wixom with a 52 pound lake trout on a fly rod. I’m sure you can do a search and find out more.
I do :
largemouth bass…22 pounds, 4 ounces…Georgia
rock bass…3 pounds…Ontario, Canada
smallmouth bass…10 pounds, 14 ounces…tennessee
bluegill…4 pounds, 12 ounces…Alabama
black bullhead…7 pounds, 7 ounces…New york
grass carp…68 pounds, 12 ounces…North carolina
flathead catfish…123 pounds, 9 ounces…kansas
black crappie…4 pounds, 8 ounces…virginia
muskie…67 pounds, 8 ounces…wisconsin
yellow perch…4 pounds, 3 ounces…new jersey
northern pike…55 pounds, 1 ounce…germany
chinook salmon…97 pounds, 4 ounces…alaska
