couldn't agree more... Big bait catch big fish..... I have also found that certain baits regardless of size only catch quality large fish.. while other baits will catch you quantity cookie cutters (dinks)... Worms are a wild card..... could be a dink could be a mudcat could be a monster carp or sucker.... or sometimes it could be a toad cat... especially in spring.. I do believe that the current record is beatable but I think that the bar is set about as high as it could be.... The fish that will beat that record i predict will only beat it by a pound or two or an inch or two.... Im just glad that the c&r record was topped..... Fish caught from a community pond should not qualify for state records.. just as fish from a fish farm or from a cabelas fish tank should not qualify.....
