Isn’t the MN record brown something like 7 pounds?
Sounds like the Everts banks are going to be pretty full of anglers for the Off the Wall Fishing Contest tomorrow. A friend of mine is digging out his “fishing chair” just for this.
The record is 7 pounds. I highly suspect that fish was a very rare abnormality mutant. They are the bigger of the 3 bullhead species, but to beat the other 2 by 4 pounds?
Check out the wide range of state records. There doesn’t seem to be any geographic region that is more suited for bigger ones. It just seems random. Maybe because they are less common and not as sought after?
