A couple of us eclipse that weight a few times a season.

Is there a Lake Menderchuck in Vermont ?

Asking for a friend.

While I'll never challenge the right of any angler to consume any fish they catch...

...I'm challenged by any angler who chooses to eat the biggest fish in in any system.

Congrats to him!

FYI-

 

It's a bunk story.

 

The man who claimed this lied about the weight.

 

If you see the picture it might not even be 4 pounds.

Ah yes I seem to recall this tale . Congrats on the 4 lber 

And yes who in the hell wants to eat a 7-6 smallmouth?

This came out Sept 2025, not that long ago. The bass measured 24” looks to be a big smallie. Probably bogus.
