kent, go to bronzeback.com   check out their listing of mike polega for the mich state record....bruce

Okay, I checked. Their "records" are bogus. Kentucky is listed at 8-7,

but they share the World Record with Tennessee (11-14). On that site

Tennessee is listed "unknown". How can the World Record be

"unknown"?

The site I listed for you is the OFFICIAL State of Michicigan website.

I think you can trust their listings for all species.

The state record for Tennessee must be mine I caught one in Norris that was 13oz. LOL ;D
