Does anyone know what the world records are on any freshwater fish? Any bass or trout or what ever other fish.

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.
